Let me say I’m pleased as punch that the Orangemen played their way into the big dance. I haven’t made many predictions today (they’re mostly wishes anyway) but I’m highly gratified when they make me seem not quite such an idiot as I actually am.
Wednesday’s Results
Seed | Team | Record | Score | Seed | Team | Record | Score | Region |
16 | N.C. Central | 19 – 16 | 46 | 16 | Texas Southern | 15 – 19 | 64 | West |
11 | Arizona St. | 20 – 11 | 56 | 11 | Syracuse | 20 – 13 | 60 | Mid West |
So today was Hump Day. I had 124 links to chase down and I only have 64 left tomorrow. Of course I have to do that before 11 am and update all the Thursday Results so my life still sucks in a deeply sleep deprived way since I’ve written 7 pieces, one of which you won’t see until I travel next week. It’s also looong, in case it’s the only one.
Don’t worry, I’ll consume more of your time with my anxiety as I grow more frantic about my departure.
I suppose I should talk some about Basketball. I have a great fondness for MSU and I hope they win it all. Xavier has a cooler name than Gonzaga (it has an “X”!), TMC does not agree. I’d like to see Syracuse advance also. Other than that I don’t much care. I’m going to grab some more Zs and a bite to eat and then hit the night shift again because mere Daylight Savings doesn’t aggravate my SAD and disrupt my Circadian Rhythm enough on it’s own.
Good luck with your brackets.
