NCAA tourney Day 3 – late thoughts

Here are some closing thoughts as this Saturday is winding down:
- Oh how I wish I could have watched Washington State take apart Notre Dame. That is an impressive win. Notre Dame can ball it.
- Marquette deserved a better fate than they got against Stanford. Lopez’ last second baseline leaner was a lucky shot. He was heading out of bounds and wasn’t very square with the hoop. But those are the breaks.
- Xavier looked very impressive against a very good Purdue team. I have Xavier going to the Final Four in a couple of my brackets.
- UCLA should consider itself very lucky to have survived Texas A&M. A&M had the Bruins right where they wanted them, and they let them off the hook.
- Somewhere in Bristol Connecticut, Bobby Knight is weeping – his pick to win it all, Pittsburgh, just bombed out against Michigan State. I was hoping for more from the Panthers.
