The NCAA Tournament goes on despite there being no Mountain West teams in the mix. Also, I know for a fact 99 percent of everyone's bracket is screwed up, thanks Iowa State.
There are four great games tonight and Wichita State is the big underdog along with Xavier. The Shockers are not really a surprise as they went to the Final four two years ago and were undefeated heading into last year's tournament and are the team I am throwing my support behind. Greg Marshall is one heck of a coach and doing great things with the Shockers.
