NCAA Round 1 Complete

The field is set for round 2 of the NCAA tournament with some surprising faces completing upset bids. #10 Davidson upset #7 Gonzaga to start off the day of upsets. While Matt, Shanon, Big Joe Duke and I were waiting to be seated at Bob Baumhower's Wings, we watched #12 Western Kentucky force overtime with #5 Drake.

While seated we then got to watch Western Kentucky fall behind and then catch back up. After trading some free throws, WKU was down by one point with 5.7 seconds left. The coach drew up a good play, Ty Rogers would inbound the ball to a player. Ty would trail him down the court drawing the focus to him then passed it to Ty a few feet behind him. Ty got the shot off and nailed the 3 pointer to upset Drake in overtime 101-99.

We were hoping that South would pull an upset but the outside shooting for Butler was too much. I hope the NCAA Committee do not think that it was a bad idea to invite USA because Butler is pretty good.

#13 San Diego upset #4 UConn in overtime so Sunday will see a matchup of #12 and #13 seeds.

The battle between the #8 and #9 seeds is typically a toss up, but I had a feeling Pelphrey would lead Arkansas over Indiana due to all of the problems Indiana has had coming down the stretch.

Then rounding out the day of upsets was #12 Villanova beating #5 Clemson. Which also sets up another match between seeds 12 and 13 in Villanova and Siena.

Well, this ends the great season that the Jaguars had. Unfortunately we have to wait several months before we get to see how the Jags look next season, but on the bright side only two players were seniors. However those two seniors really meant alot to this team.

Go Western Kentucky. At least make it to the sweet 16.
