Winthrop up on ND. (not a big suprise as Winthrop is the more experienced team)

The big one is Wisconsin losing to Texas A&M CORPUS CHRISTI? The Badger only have 4 points scored 10 minutes into the 1st half.

I picked Winthrop over Notre Dame, as I'm sure many others did.

The Badgers closed the 1st half and are only down 8, I suspect they will come back, though it'd probably be better if they lost because I have them going out 2nd round and I imagine others have them going alot further.

I was thinking ND would beat Winthrop but guess I was wrong. As For Wisconsin They stepped there game up and up by 7.

Winthrop over ND ain't really an upset...those who followed college ball know this.

I agree but Winthrop got a bad draw when they had to play Notre Dame because Notre Dame is such a high scoring team.

There was a lot of talk about Winthrop being a really good team that could make some serious noise. They were like the upset pick everyone was going for, but as the tournament got really close it started going the other way, that Winthrop was getting overvalued and getting too much respect, and that Notre Dame would beat them. I stayed with Winthrop because I thought they were good and Notre Dame didn't really impress me, but it could go either way.

winthrop is a good basketball team... and they have a good chance of sweet 16.

I really wanted to pick Winthrop but I was retarded and picked Notre Dame(I hate them btw) anyway.

I am kicking myself for it now.

you could literally hear the whole town of rock hill cheering when the buzzer sounded today (i graduated from winthrop and still live about six blocks from campus). FINALLY getting out of the first round is huge, but unfortunately most of our better players are seniors and we really have no decent young bigs to develop. i can't wait for the oregon game.

South Carolina needs to ship Dave "I wasted 4 years of Tim Duncan/NIT legend" Odom out immediately and bring Gregg Marshall (Winthrop's coach) in. He's a damn good coach.
