    Big props to UMBC, especially that Lyles kid for getting work done. Let's not forget that Virginia was playing fairly stout defense in the 2nd half, UMBC was just getting all sorts of shots to drop.

    What a great moment for UMBC though. They're going to be showing clips of this team playing every year until someone does it again.

    Wow Alabama got destroyed today, even though I kinda expected it.

    And Duke is taking Rhode Island back behind the woodshed at the moment. Looks like the big boys of college basketball got spooked after last night.

    Pretty underwhelming first couple of games thus far on Saturday. Hopefully things pick up quicker in the later games.

    The Loyola Chicago Ramblers certainly got business to pick up.

    What a tournament so far. Was watching UMBC beat Vermont last weekend during lunch and said to my brother "Man, UMBC can play.... It's too bad they just won the right to be crushed by a 1 or 2 seed."

    Loving it. I'm still very much in it at the moment, more than half my pool picked Arizona.

    Final four for me: Gonzaga vs Cincinnati and Villanova vs Duke, with Nova over Cincy

    Meant to say more than half my pool took Arizona and Virginia.

    Well, UMBC took down the #1 team overall on Friday, so they shouldn't have any issues with Kansas State!

    So there were no brackets left in tact after the first round correct? Hilarious, whats the prize for getting right anyway?

    What a great first weekend of college basketball. It's just a shame March Madness cannot occur year round.

    So here are the teams left, in their Sweet Sixteen matchup:

    South

    #9 Kansas St. vs. #5 Kentucky
    #11 Loyola Chicago vs. #7 Nevada

    West
    #9 Florida St. vs. #4 Gonzaga
    #3 Michigan vs. #7 Texas A&M

    East
    #1 Villanova vs. #5 West Virginia
    #2 Purdue vs. #3 Texas Tech

    Midwest
    #1 Kansas vs. #5 Clemson
    #2 Duke vs. #11 Syracuse


    For me, the most interesting matchup will be Villanova vs. West Virginia. Not because it'll be the most exciting game to watch, but because the matchup of styles will be a huge factor. Can Villanova handle West Virginia's pressure and, if so, can West Virginia still hang with Villanova?

    Who do you think is the favorite to win out of these 16 teams?
