The NCAA Tournament swings back into action this evening as the men’s Sweet Sixteen gets underway in Kansas City and San Jose. The early games may create some rooting tension. On the one hand, not many of us really care one way or another who wins the Oregon/Michigan tilt. On the other, you’ll have Big 12 loyalty up against “damnit, can’t Gonzaga finally do this thing?” angst.
The late games, on the other hand, present much clearer decisions. Hardly anyone here is going to be rooting against Purdue or Xavier.
This is your live thread for tonight. Enjoy!
