Minnesota fast break

So I know I said I'd be doing a break down type post of the Timberwolves/ Grizzlies game tonight as my next post and presumably will be doing just that in my next next post. Something came up yesterday that I could not ignore. It involves the big university down in Minneapolis that I so accurately disparaged the other day.
For one day the gopher's men's basketball team was the talk of the biggest national sports network. Which does NOT happen.
If you were busy and missed the news then let me break it down for you


AFTER the break!

Tough day for top teams

After spending the last 2 days on stories local and regional it's time to go national again. There was an impressive docket of college basketball games on Wednesday night.

For those who don't know, the national ranking is the in the parenthesis.
(20) Duke played (5) North Carolina
(3) Oklahoma played Texas Tech
(4) Iowa played Penn St.
(8) Xavier played (23) Providence
(15) Dayton played St. Joe's

Some of the games went the way the predictors would have said, some did not AKA upsets. That is one of the things that makes college basketball and especially the tournament one of the most popular parts of sports.

I can only claim to have seen one of those five games and won't get to all five here cause I just don't have opinions worthy of conveying about the ones that I'll skip. So here goes!
