Saturday afternoon here at Tournament Central…here are some thoughts as we go throughout the day.

As I sit here and watch San Diego try to upset Connecticut in overtime, I figured it was time for some thoughts about the Day 2 action so far:

No matter what sports you follow, you should always want to see the best teams and/or players competing against one another. #1 vs. #2.
It appears that college basketball fans are going to get their wish, as long as Tulane and Auburn don’t spoil the party tonight.
#1 Memphis versus #2 Tennessee on Saturday headlines the […]
