San Diego? Really?

The No. 13 seed San Diego Toreros are up 58-54 with 50.3 seconds remaining. Just another disappointing year for Jim Calhoun and the Huskies, who haven't won much since Ben Gordon and Emeka Okafor (spelling?) left for the NBA after the 2004 title. It seemed so long ago.

I so wish I was watching this game right now instead of hitting refresh every 3 seconds...

Overtime. Sweet! This is good retribution for all of you who took Drake, right?

What do you mean all of you? Who in the world took Western Kentucky?

SheilaM said...

Two of the four people we know in our pool did!

One of them said the only reason was so he could say, "Hate the Drake." Reference?

I have UConn losing in the next round, so just for the satisfaction of seeing an upset (especially UConn), I'm rooting for those Toreros.

That brings up an interesting topic. What's the weirdest nickname in the tournament? There are some quality entries.

How about Wildcats? Wierd!

I'm sure I'm missing some, but the ones that have stuck out for me include:
Golden Flashes
Toreros
Retrievers

Hey, what's so bad about Retrievers??


You knew I was going to throw that in!
