I haven't looked at the schedule yet. Busy day at work (multi-tasking while half listening to a boring conference call where I am a minor participant). I will look at it over lunch and figure out which ones are of most interest. Obviously the #2 seed games. But, beyond that? Wonder if we will see more upsets today like we saw in day two of round one? That would be fun!

"let me circle back to you on that.." and "do we understand the full benefit we can expect from this project..."

Up first #2 Maryland v #7 Alabama. I don't generally root for any SEC teams, but today I will make an exception.
Next up would be #3 Georgia v #6 Oregon. See the first game comment, but this one is selfish because of at least one of my brackets.
Later this afternoon - #2 Louisville v #7 Northwestern. Rooting for the underdog in this one. Just because it is Louisville, which I do not necessarily dislike that much. But, it would be a fun upset.
Then up even later - #2 Texas A&M vs # 7 Iowa State. Rooting against this SEC team. Iowa is next to my old home state of Nebraska. So if for no other reason for regional ties.

Maryland is completely dominating Alabama. 30-9 at the end of the first quarter. Pretty sure this one will not be an upset.

Looks like the turtles rolled the tide back to 'Bama. 100-64. So long, SEC team. Another one bites the dust.

Now Oregon and Georgia. Saw Makayla Coombs’ name as a starter. I didn’t know she was still playing.

I always thought she had great potential and was sad when she transferred. But she did what she felt was best for her, and I think she is probably happy she did. It seems to have worked out for her. I don't think she would have ever become a starter at UConn.

I don't think she would have ever become a starter at UConn. Maybe true, but did you think there would be room for three point guards - Evina, Paige, and Nika - all in the same starting lineup? ... especially if Christyn Williams was also in the same starting five? This is maybe my favorite thing about this season. Figure out what we have and apply those resources to maximum effect. Awesome.

Looks like another SEC team will be packing their bags and heading home. Tonight's The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Taking the Midnight Train to Georgia, not Walkin' back to Georgia. I think they have Georgia on their Minds.
And damn those Devils Going Down to Georgia - they took one or more of my brackets with them!!!!

A lot of sad, sad Georgia fans will be playing Brook Benton tonight and wondering what went wrong.... Andy Landers among them:

Anybody ever hear an explanation of why Dana Evans wears those magnum eyelashes?

At this time of year I wish all teams to be at full strength!

Anybody ever hear an explanation of why Dana Evans wears those magnum eyelashes? It is a fashion trend right now. I don’t care for the look myself, but I have just come to accept it. Until there is something that happens that raises a safety concern to the players, or the trend runs its course, they will continue to be worn if team rules don’t disallow it. From what I understand they aren’t cheap and it takes hours to apply. The process is to essentially attach the extensions to each individual eyelash. They are bonded to the natural lash, and if I remember what I read they can’t get their eyes wet for like two days. Seems like a lot of work, time and inconvenience to me. But, then again I am over sixty and they would look pretty silly on me with my rapidly-turning-white hair.

Can’t believe that Northwestern is leading the #2 team. Methinks Louisville peaked too early.
Walz is going to give them a good talking to in the locker room.

I think Jeff gave them things to think about, but NW is not rolling over.

NW and Louisville tied at the beginning of the 4th.
