Its an alternate possession. So next time there's a jump ball it will go to Marquette.

What a great opening day of NCAA tournament basketball!!

Marquette just started playing scared down the stretch. They got owned in the final 10 minutes. lol

oops Washington pulled it off.

Kansas is spotting Lehigh a 12-4 lead in the first six minutes. Wake is putting Texas out of its misery. If there was any 8-9 game that was 'no contest', it was this one. Texas hasn't beaten a good team since they were rocked out of the #1 ranking.

16-12 Kansas now. Lehigh is suddenly Lelow.

Much to my chagrin. WF is my second favorite team but i did not think the could handle UT. They are proving me wrong so i might get happy except for the fact that i have Texas going a bit of ways here.

Texas has actually come back to lead at the half. This may come down to which team wants it least.

Kansas seems content to toy with Lehigh like a cat toying with a mouse. They could seemingly blow them out whenever they want to but they are letting them stay around for the amusement factor.

That matchup REALLY scares me.

I have KU winning it all and all i could do i laugh if they actually lost that game tonight.

Tennessee survives. Texas is now pouring it on in OT. Can Wake come back?

Now back within two. :30 left.

Now within one. :15 left.

Montana is hanging around against New Mexico also.

And Wake pulls it out...81-80. Sorry, Horns. It would have been worse on Saturday.

Lobos lead by 3 and the ball with less than a minute to play.

Man, free throws at the end of the game are such a killer if you can't convert. New Mexico up by 5 with scant time left.

They survive!

I go 13-3 on opening night which is better than I usually do. Only one team gone that I had winning in the next round.

Them of the day, close games. That's UNM mo folks, every game this year has been close, there 15 game win streak, largest margrin of victory was 15 or points. They have that closing instinct though, never panic, and get it done.
