Madness notes

Have TV and computer on to games, access to all.

Robt Morris has first quarter lead over Villanova, 15 seed over 2, but plays a sloppy game, hard to imagine this will be a contest.

Florida, 10, giving 7 BYU a game. This could go either way.

6 Notre Dame should handle 11 Old Dom without trouble.


Halftime. BYU by 2, this could go to the wire. ND by 6, not this close. Robt Morris by 6, blowing bigger lead, Nova beating itself. Despite big upset potential, this may not be close if Nova gets its act together.


Early in 2nd half, RMorris already is falling apart. This won't be close, alas.

BYU by 13. Probably over.

ND by 3, still a game.


Old Dom and ND ties with a minute, this is the closest game of the morning.

Nova only 2 back now, too. BYU close again, only 3 lead.

Old Dom by 3, 20 sec, missed free throw to seal it. Damn, these schools with upset chances so often lose their cool and blow it. ND with ball to tie, go to OT. We'll see. OD by 1 with 12 sec., OD in bound. They are blowing it at the line so ND should foul quickly.

Robt Morris now by 6 with 10 min. Wow. 15 seed leading this late.

9 sec, OD at line for 2, one pt lead. First one good, 2 pt lead. 2nd good, 3 pt lead.

Fla has 1 pt lead over BYU, a minute to go. Close games! Chances of upsets!

OLD DOM WINS 51-50, first upset of the tourny!

BYU and Fla tied, a minute to go. Overtime!

RMorris still ahead, 6 min. This might be a major upset. Nova way below average game.

RMorris by 8 with 4 mins!

What a morning ... an upset, an overtime, and a major upset in the making. Can RMorris hang on?

(The best tourny ever would be no number 1 seeds in the final four.)

Nova coming back, 5 pts. ... 2pt game, oh my ... 2 mins ...RMorris is falling apart!
... tie game, first since 2-2, RM led all the way until now. ... OD is double overtime ... RM takes 2 pt lead, a min to go ... tie again ... what a great start to the dance! the more upsets the better ... 25 sec, tie, Nova has ball, damn ... 1 sec tie, Nova ball ... OVERTIME ... 2 of 3 morning games go overtime, fantastic.

BYU by 7 in 2nd OTZ, a min to go.

I'm exhausted and the day has just started.
