The second batch of Friday games definitely had the most intrigue.
Winthrop finally got their first-ever NCAA tournament win, over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The Eagles pulled away at the end, and won 74-64. They get the winner of Oregon-Miami (Ohio).
It was back to the 80's in Columbus, as Tennessee ran Long Beach State out of the gym, 121-86. Somewhere, Billy Tubbs and Jerry Tarkanian were smiling. Run, gun, and run some more...
For 30 minutes, there was a colossal upset in the making. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi led Wisconsin for most of the game. The Badgers came back, though, and eventually won by 13.
The tournament's first overtime game was in New Orleans, as the Wolf Pack of Nevada knocked off Creighton, 77-71. Nevada moves on to play Memphis on Sunday.
More later...
