The first set of games yesterday were duds. Really, only San Diego State vs Arizona State were the money shots of basketball. Here's hoping for a better set of games tonight.
Because Louisville vs Kentucky in Indianapolis? That will be off the complete chain, while UConn gets a semi-home game in Madison Square Garden tonight vs. Iowa State. And Michigan State/ Virginia will be an excellently played game. And the Volunteers are peaking at the right time (IN the NCAA Tournament, and early enough to GET to the Tournament).
