Upset City

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Just moments ago, Northwestern State, a 14 seed, hit a three pointer with .5 seconds left on the clock to defeat the third seeded Iowa Hawkeyes. Northwestern State is from Natchitoches, Lousiana (pronounced Nack-a-tesh...or something like that), so I should be happy, right? An underdog making Louisiana proud!

Well, I would be happy if I didn't have Iowa in my Final Four! Why hast thou forsaken me, Iowa?! This is not the same team that finished the season with 5 straight wins; two of them over ranked oppenents.

Oh, well. My 4th place standing shall not be in place much longer. Especially since Nevada, whom I had making it to the final eight teams, lost to 12 seeded Montana.

Despite the upsets that have wrecked my bracket, 'tis still fun to watch. My LSU Tigers won last night after a worrying first half. Next up is Texas A&M, also an upset winner over 5th seeded Syracause. I correctly picked that upset (gotta brag while I can).
