The second group of early NCAA Tournament games are winding down, and folks are grabbing a quick dinner break. Seems like a good opportunity to reset here too, eh?
Tonight’s action features three more teams who are trendy picks for potential upsets. There may be no team for whom the media’s expectations is so wildly out of line with their seed line than our old friends from Dunk City; the number of talking heads who legitimately expect Florida State to lose tonight is staggering. Nevada presents a fairly dangerous test for Iowa State, and while most people expect Purdue to survive the evening, Vermont cannot be taken lightly.
Here’s tonight’s schedule, and remember the times for the last four games are approximate.
