Shocks advance, face winner of Tennessee/Winthrop.

Bonus: Oklahoma loses. Glee.

Also: Kent State Basketball Team Massacred By Ohio National Guard In Repeat Of Classic 1970 Matchup. Tried to explain it to Will, but some jokes either work or they don't. The Photoshoppery was brilliant, too.

Darn, they almost got to play Winthrop. Per the ESPN site, the Winthrop-Tennessee score was 61-61 from 2:46 to play until the 1 second mark, at which point UT scored. Winthrop got a timeout, but missed the buzzer shot.

So very wrong. So very funny.

Liked both of those outcomes.

The Onion article was good. A little disturbing but great use of the language.

Ugh, not a big fan of Wichi-wichi-wichita!

I picked UW-Milwaukee over Oklahoma (I thought about that one a lot because I remember them upsetting in last year's tournament).

The only ones that I've missed were Marquette/Alabama and Nevada/Montana.

Favorite comment so far about the NCAAs; "Surprisingly, it's no longer a joke to say 'Defending National Champion North Carolina'".

[UNC-CH won it last year. Then, due to graduation and jumps to the NBA, they promptly lost their entire starting lineup *and* top two reserves. The returning player with the highest scoring average on the team had something like 3.9 points per game. They were the first defending championship team in decades to not even be ranked at the start of the following season. So no one figured they'd be, y'know, actually defending the championship in the NCAAs this year, much less be a 3 seed, and while not a favorite, no one would be calling it a miracle if they win it all again.]
