Go Arizona!

Mar 20, 2009 23:32

Arizona, ranked 12 (lowest ever for them, apparently, in their 25-yr streak; many people/teams complaining they shouldn't even be in the ncaa tournament; don't know why, their RPI was higher, strength of schedule was very strong, etc.), beat 5-seed Utah (currently ranked #25 in the country) tonight, Friday, March 20, 84-71.

Whoo hoo!!!!!!

Amazing, very impressive.  Apart from the back and forth in the beginning, they led the whole way.  It got scary close late in the game -- only up by two -- but they rallied.  14 points is probably one of the (if not the) biggest leads of the night.

Next up, Cleveland State, which defeated Wake Forest, 84-69! Yikes.  WF defeated Duke this year, when Duke was #1.  We're in for quite the game on Sunday.  The rest of the games were a lot of fun -- the Siena (ohio state - in dayton!) game went into 2OT, with Siena finally winning; another game (Fl St/Wisconsin, I think, also a 12-5 match-up) went into OT, too.  So glad our game didn't go into OT.  All but one of the Pac-10 teams (Cal, who lost to Md) are still standing.  My bracket . . . is not too bad, actually.

Don't know how people can watch these games in public; have no idea how I got through the 1997 series (defeating 3 No. 1 teams).  I was jumping up and down, yelling.  Can't watch in public.  I've watched with friends in college (warning them beforehand); I was very entertaining for them.

Also -- made a new icon.  See -->  
I also know how to clip video.  Fun!  I can see how this can be addictive.
