Morehead leading OhSU at the end of three: 48-45

and wins 71-61

ok, we knew OhSU was very up and down (and mostly down) this year, but who expected this?

I didn't see that coming. (Mostly cuz I wasn't looking at it, either I didn't realize there was a 'first round' game today, even though I looked for it on espn's site )

THAT SAID....I still am amazed at how few people (here?) seem to call for his head, the way Foster's was such a target.

VA Tech really shoulda been in the Big Dance, imo.

Arkansas fighting for their lives in OT.

Green Bay's loss is a bit shocking, no? I'm a bit s'prised that Miami (OH) is out, too.

Harvard beats Drexel 69-56.

Villanova hits a 3 (Herlihy) at the buzzer to get to OT against ODU. Then they score the first 9 in OT, up 78-69 midway through the OT.

Georgetown and Penn win easily and JMU is about to win also..

I was at the JMU-NC A&T game. It was a weird one. First off, JMU was missing its two best players; Lexie Barrier broke 3 fingers in her right hand on the first play of the Hofstra game in the tourney and is in a cast to her elbow, and Kamiah Smalls has a broken finger, also on the right hand, from the game before. Maddie Green, who we'd all feared for after the Hofstra game, was apparently undamaged after all. But the lineup had to be tweaked, and as a result, some bench players got some unexpected time. Bre Bellerand got a lot of minutes and showed us why coach recruited her...she plays a lot bigger than she is, and appears in places where the opposing team least expects her. She's going to be fun to watch for the next couple of years.

So on to the game. The Aggies are a quick team but a little undisciplined, pretty good on defense but so handsy I thought I was at an NFL game! So much jersey-grabbing... Let's just say their style is very physical and things got pretty chippy by the second half. I'm not sure where the refs came from as I hadn't seen some of them. It seemed to be a case of calling about every third or fourth foul. There was one rather spectacular double flop by a couple of Aggie players that resulted in a foul on a JMU player who was trying to get out of the way. ~smdh~ But JMU managed to lead most of the way and won, 48-37, in this very un-pretty contest..
