The second round of games today brought no surprises, as Washington, Utah, Cincy, and Boston College all won relatively easy (Utah was close, but come on, did any really believe Bogut would go out in the first round?). The third round, in progress now, has great promise. At halftime of each game, all the lower seeds were ahead. Of course, that is now changing as the higher seeds' superiority kicks in (at least for some of them. Despite trailing previously, Wake is now up over UT-Chattanooga by 2; Texas is only 1 behind Nevada; Arizona has jumped 9 ahead of Utah State; and Gonzaga has reasserted itself by 2 over Winthrop. I'm still praying for some tight games and possible upsets though, just so the news is more exciting tomorrow.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to everyone back in the States.
