#2-seed Wisconsin overcame an 18-point first half deficit to beat Texas A&M Corpus Christie, 76-63. Kammron Taylor both contributed to the big deficit with poor shooting in the first half and also led the Badgers to victory with 24 second half points. He’s a streaky shooter and will need to be a little more consistent if Wisconsin is going to advance very far.
#10 Georgia Tech was a popular upset pick, but played a brutal game against #7 UNLV. The Yellow Jackets never seemed to get into a flow, and Paul Hewitt’s schizophrenic substitution patterns didn’t help…CBS insisted on covering Tennessee’s blowout of Long Beach State to the bitter end. I assume it has to do with LBS’ proximity to the CBS affiliate in Los Angeles, but nobody around here cares about LBS. If they’re in the game, sure I’d love to watch them, but if they’re down by 20+, go to another game. Luckily, I was able to watch Notre Dame’s wonderful comeback against Winthrop on cbs.sportsline.com. (Winthrop prevailed.)
#3 Oregon is only up by three on #14 Miami (OH). I had the Irish beating the Ducks to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, so if Miami can pull the upset, it will lessen the effect of Notre Dame’s loss.
