Getting nervous with the lack of upsets

[FirstDownB]

ND holds off Princeton
Virginia escapes UNCW
Butler handles Winthrop

West Virginia leading Bucknell
Florida in a close one with ETSU at halftime

We need a sacrificial lamb or two to appease the March Madness gods before 7:27 PM!!!

Perhaps the lack of upsets is due to the fact that the low seeds are really not very good. Perhaps there are substantial qualitative differences between the teams and that explains it.

I tend to agree arc. Relative to other years, this year's lower part of the field seems weaker. There is maybe some compression at the top relative to other years as well.....something is bound to happen, though.

Maybe we'll know more tomorrow.

I'll buy that, although ND was flat out lucky against Princeton.

OTOH, Minnesota (5) trails at the half to a good Middle Tennessee State (12) team, 37-31.

Is it an upset when the 12 seed is favored ?

Yes, no, and maybe.

People in Minneapolis and the Land of 10,000 Lakes will be "upset" if this keeps up. MTSU leads 52-38 with about 15 minutes left.

It just means tomorrow will be full of upsets..................and that's fine!

Iowa state should be nervous, but not us...
