Wichita State was perfect, and a number ONE seed. Number 8 Kentucky knocked them off yesterday. Number 10 Stanford also knocked off number TWO Kansas, but they were missing their top player, perhaps the top player in country, because of a back injury.
Neither game was in prime time, so very few people saw the huge upsets. Even CBS went to normal prime time viewing last night.
Big upsets are cool even in a tournament where all the teams are basically interchangeable, but the impact is lost when the games are not seen due to an ever-numbing sea of endless games.
It's also like World Cup Soccer. All the teams are so evenly matched that the 1-0 score could go either way and all that they demonstrate are that there are no great teams.
Knowing that kind of defeats the fun of the tournament.
In other BASKETBALL news: The Wolved scored just 17 points in the fourth quarter last night.
Yep, they lost.
