Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? today we get to see a few more Big Ten teams take the floor. First we get Iowa in the first game against Cincinnati in Columbus, which is interesting because it is a potential Sweet 16 opponent. The same is true when #2 seed Tennessee plays after them. We also have more of our own region with Virginia, Wisconsin, and Kansas State all playing. Not to look ahead, but it does mean an extra day of rest for us before the Sweet 16 if we should get there since our quad played yesterday and the other three in our region played today.
Do we get the joy of another 16 over a 1 today? What about a 15 over a 2? It’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some basketball. The opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament are still the best sports days of the year.
