Quote of teh day
"Tonight, we were better than Syracuse." -- UNC Asheville head coach Eddie Biedenbach, after a close loss to Syracuse that was marred by a controversial out-of-bounds call in the final minute

Daily blurb
The first full day of tournament action failed to produce the type of “madness” that is its namesake. Only two seed-based upsets happened, and very few games were still in doubt at the final possession. The escape by Syracuse was probably the most dramatic game. Maybe today will have more twists and turns.

I posted a summary of the Market Madness picks on the news page at the contest site. Looks like a lot of contest entrants were pulling hard for UNC-Asheville. The contest standings are difficult to interpret this early in the tournament, as the entries with a lot of expensive shorts tend to sort to the top, regardless of the early round results. When we get to the Sweet 16, the picture will come into better focus.

While you were watching college action, the NBA was busily rearranging a lot of deck chairs. I won’t list the names here, but the number of players changing uniforms probably numbers close to two dozen. And Dwight Howard isn’t one of them, as he decided to stick around for a repeat performance next year of his “I want to go – I want to stay” do-si-do. I’m sure we’re all looking forward to that.

RIBC draft rationales have started, now that the draft itself is in Round 3. We keep the posted rationales on a two-round lag, just to avoid tipping our hands “in the moment.” (Note: The listed times on that linked summary page appear to be using Greenwich mean time, so it’s not really peering into the future. Now that would really be useful draft software!)
