You think fans at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa Bay got there money's worth today? As if Western Kentucky's overtime buzzer beating three wasn't good enough, they were treated to even more free basketball between San Diego and Connecticut.
What's always amazing about March is these teams like San Diego who morph into a Top 20 team overnight. Toreros were on TV late Monday night a few times this year. Decent team for that conference but never put together a performance than made you make a mental note to yourself about a potential tournament upset.
Gyno Pomare, who averages 14 ppg, stepped up with 22. Their star Brandon Jackson was fouled out for the final stretch, so who do they turn to? A guy with 2 points all game. De'Jon Jackson looking like Lebron James on a fade away 18-foot jumper moving to his right.
Now we're guaranteed a double digit seed in the Sweet 16. Thank you.
Wait......almost........here it comes...........NOW my tourny bracket is probably officially eliminated from any kind of award.
Not that I picked them to win it all or anything, but I had them winning a couple of games, along with another team that I won't mention..(gotta stop listening to those little voices when filling out brackets).
