What I'm Watching on Day 4 The biggest surprise of Day 3 would be the last game of the tournament, 14-seed Abilene Christian defeated 3-seed Texas 53-52. If you were watching from the tip of the Georgetown-Colorado game through the afternoon and evening, AND still made it through the last two hours of the evening, you should be celebrated for your perseverance.  Thankfully, we have the highlights via social media to keep us up on what we missed. Before I move into the Round of 32 for the men, and the first day of the tournament for the women's tournament, here's a few observations from Saturday. A 14 (Abilene Christian), 13 (Ohio), 11 (UCLA) and 10-seed (Maryland) won games. Combined with the 15 (Oral Roberts), 12 (Oregon State), 13 (North Texas), 11 (Syracuse), and 10-seed (Rutgers) that's nine of 32 games won by double-digit seeded teams. That's pretty much chalk for the higher seed. VCU got knocked out because of COVID... while inside the NCAA bubble! Hearing an

What I'm Watching on Day 3 Day 3 of the NCAA Tournament, or Day 2 if you don't consider the First Four part of "the tournament". I would normally agree with you, but since the First Four takes place in the same city/area with the field of 64 tournament and it starts one day before the opening round, this is my Day 3. Let's recap from Day 2, the first 16 games. Biggest takeaway in my four bracket contest is I went 4-4 in the South region. I fared much better in the Midwest region. Best pick: Oral Roberts over Ohio State Worst pick: Purdue (loss to North Texas). Like the Oral Roberts game, it went to overtime, so I had a 50/50 shot at that point I guess. But, Purdue was my Survivor Contest pick in Day 1, so I feel some kind of way about that loss. Maybe it was my praise of their toughness in the paint in the second half of that game and wishing Indiana had guys like that is where it went wrong.  They were also one of two Sweet 16 teams I lost. Thanks for nothing Boi
