The highly fancied Kansas Jayhawks were shocked by little known Northern Iowa
69-67 in the latest upset of this years NCAA tournament. The Northern Iowa Panthers looked like the favourites down the stretch as they calmly made their shots and free throws to preserve the win.
Meanwhile, the Kansas St. Wildcats put away the pesky Brigham Young Cougars
84-82.
It was a day that also saw the surprising Washington Huskies top New Mexico 82-64, Kentucky blow out Wake Forest 90-60, Tennessee ease by Ohio 83-68, Baylor trip Old Dominion 76-68, and Butler eek out a 54-52 win over Murray St.
The other big one of the day saw St. Mary’s send Villanova packing 75-68.
Today’s action reminds me of something a wise man (my grandfather) once said to me when I complained about having to show up for a game against a fellow baseball team in younger years, after getting our hats handed to us, he simply said, “that is why you play the game, you just never know when surprises are gonna happen and teach you a little humility”.
As for my predicting, ouch, I had a 2 right, six wrong day!!!!
There is always tomorrow!!!
