Ah, no...
Wisconsin lost.
So decisively.
87-69.
To Cornell University.
Frickin' Ivy League school.
Michigan St. managed to squeak by a victory by Maryland, 85-83. It was so close in the end. I'm glad! I have a friend who goes to MSU, so yay! Celebration time! (We bonded last spring over MSU and the NCAA, too, besides other things.)
Georgia Tech lost to Ohio State, though. :-(
I tend to choose teams by associations I have with them. Either direct ones or by my friends'/family. *laughs* That's why I chose Wisconsin (seeing as how my college is in Wisconsin and I've visited Madison, WI a few times), MSU and Georgia Tech (Farah and Garrett used to live in Georgia, and a former boyfriend's cousin goes there now).
If there are no associations with teams playing one another I just choose randomly or try to go for upsets. Of the remaining games today I'm hoping Pittsburgh wins against Xavier (only cause a high school friend went to UPenn (and a few other middle school friends to Penn St.) which is at least the same state as Pittsburgh), West Virginia against Missouri (for this one W. Virginia was just a random choice), California over Duke (I know Duke is the no. 1 seed in South Regionals and California is an 8th seed, but I want an upset today, besides Cornell wining over Wisconsin. An 12th seed beating a 4th seed. GRRR!) and Purdue over Texas A&M (I'm choosing Purdue cause I almost applied there for my undergrad degree!)
Otherwise, I'm just reading for my psych and philosophy classes. :D
