The West – Not so wild

 

Resident Ladies Hottie and Missouri Conference Player of the year, Jamaal Tatum, scored 21 points in Southern Illinois 63-48 over Virginia Tech.  Dreadlocks, always sexy.

 

• Apparently the idea that Michael Jordan was in the house was enough to inspire Kansas to trounce Kentucky 88-76.  I would like to formally ask Sir Air to become the Jayhawks’ #1 groupie and follow around Kansas through next weekend. 
• In a defensive struggle that you would never see in the NBA, UCLA managed to outlast Indiana 54-49. 
• Despite Pitt blowing a 19-point lead and having the game go into overtime, they were able to hold off VCU 84-79.

For the first time ever, USC and UCLA are in the Sweet Sixteen at the same time.  It is going to be a looooonnnngggg week here in Los Angeles.
