Recap of March Madness Day 4

 

I'll admit I didn't watch too much of the games today, though I caught the finish of most games. So my thoughts will be short.

What I liked

  • Sienna giving Louisville all it could handle. Fran McCaffery -- the former Penn point guard -- coached the Saints to 63-62 lead with 5:07 to go. But the Cardinals pushed on the gas, finishing the game on a 17-9 run.
  • My bracket. After the first two rounds, I got 12/16 Sweet 16 teams correct (Arizona, Syracuse, Purdue and Duke being the exceptions) and more importantly all of my Elite Eight and Final Four teams are still alive.
What I didn't like
  • How the Missouri Marquette game ended. It looked like Marquette would have a great chance to get the tournament's first true buzzer beater. But imbounding the ball with 5.5 seconds left, Lazar Hayward stepped over the out-of-bounds line, giving Missouri back the ball. In short, it cheapened the end to what otherwise was a thrilling game.
