    It's march Madness...and It's maddening!

    I've watched a nailbiter of a game this morning and afternoon.

    The Pacific University Tigers- the #13 seed in the Minneapolis bracket- gave the # 4 Boston College Screaming Eagles a run for their money. Twice, just as the Eagles thought they had the game in the can, the Tigers came right back and stuck it to them. Right now, I'm watching a couple games- the #2 Tennessee Volunteers battling the #15 Winthorp Eagles in Greensboro, North Carolina (they're in the washington, DC bracket).

    Other games earlier...Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the #11 seed in the Minneapolis bracket, upset the #6 Oklahoma Sooners, 82-74 in Salt Lake City. Wichita State, the #7 in the DC bracket handily handed #10 Seton Hall their asses, 86-66.

    But, man, in Salt Lake City, The Screaming Eagles were screaming- and not because they were winning...hold on, it looks like Tennessee and Winthorp may be heading into overtime...currently 61 all with less than two minutes left in regulation...now 52 seconds left, and it's still 61 all...but in the first overtime, Pacific players hit nothing but three pointers, but by the second OT, Boston college's defense got the best of the Tigers. Steal after steal...but, man, the Pacific team gave BC a run for their money, didn't they? The final score: BC 88, Pacific 76. The winner of the Nevada-Montana game will play BC at 2:40PM (PT; 5:40PM ET) Saturday in Salt lake.

    Tennessee will face off against Wichita State saturday in Greensboro.

    Earlier, in San Diego, at Cox arena, the Alabama- marquette game was delayed due to the discovery of a suspicious package found in the building. It had to be evacuated.
