After today’s slate of games, my bracket is still intact in my pool, but it is battered. The two big upsets from the first round would have to be Dayton beating West Virginia and Cleveland State just dropping Wake Forest like 3rd period English.
Sunday, Cleveland State takes on an Arizona team that barely got into the tournament, so I think they have a shot at advancing to the Sweet 16. Cleveland St. forces a lot of turnovers (18 against Wake Forest Friday night), which is a good thing for a Cinderella to continue to advance. Dayton will take on Kansas on Sunday, which should be a good game. Dayton won thanks to shooting 46% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc for the game, and a career high 27 points from Chris Wright. If they are to win on Sunday they will probably need a similar shooting performance from the entire team and help from an inexperienced Kansas squad.
I don’t see any big upsets happening tomorrow but Sunday could provide a different story with Dayton, Cleveland St., Arizona, and Wisconsin in action. I like Wisconsin to beat Xavier and advance to the Sweet 16 as well as Cleveland St. to beat Arizona.
I love the transitions that CBS does during their telecast but I really wish someone would step in and provide a vocal transition so I don’t get confused in what game I’m being switched to. There were multiple times when CBS would switch from the Wisconsin-Florida State game to the Ohio State-Siena game without verbal warning and I was thrown for a moment or two. Hopefully this gets corrected as the tournament progresses and this was just a first round thing.
Enjoy the 2nd Round!
