Second Round, Day 2
Major shake up in the brackets. The plucky Retrievers of UMBC gave K-State all they could handle, but ultimately bowed out in a hard fought, close game. IMHO, the Retrievers acquitted themselves, and all "low majors" for that matter, quite well in this tournament. Team Harry Potter continued to advance, undoubtedly due to copious Hail Marys performed by their photogenic chaplain. Cincy spit the bit; the Tar Heels were tarred & feathered; and Sparty left the party.
I absolutely despise the ACC, but I found myself gleefully doing the FSU tomahawk chant (much to the chagrin of my Florida-grad significant other). Hopefully schadenfreude will make the couch a little softer tonight.
OBTW, who dressed Frank Martin tonight? Stevie Wonder or Herb Tarlek?
