I'm upgrading the Gonzaga-Arizona game to the best game I've ever seen. The more I think about it, the more sure I am that this is true. I'm not saying it's the best ever--I didn't see the '92 Kentucky-Duke Elite Eight game, for instance, and I don't really remember the Houston-NC State championship game. Those games weren't double overtime, though. Crushing loss for the Zags, man.
Kansas beat the living crap out of ASU yesterday--no team should lose by 32 points in the second round. That's worse than any of the 1-16 matchups. I had decided to stay up and watch the KU game--starting 2:30 AM here. But after KU jumped on top, I decided I'd wait until they were up by 20--which happened 12 minutes in. Got some extra sleep.
I misfired on the Duke-CMU game. Badly.
Arizona. I've said this before--they just don't impress me. I can't put my finger on it. Just missing something. I will say this--Luke Walton, who doesn't seem like much of a scorer, is an absolutely incredible passer. I couldn't believe how well he picked up cutters yesterday, repeatedly. Just a badass passer. No chance to star in the NBA.
The Gonzaga-Arizona game was so good it overshadowed another OT game--Marquette-Missouri. And it overshadowed a three-pointer-to-win-with-one-second-on-the-clock masterpiece between Tulsa and Wisconsin.
UConn is pretty good, I think. They'll beat Texas if Purdue doesn't do it first.
No games I'm really intrigued by today, I must admit. But I'm sure they'll be some good ones.
