There Goes a 2nd Final Four Pick

That's it. The bracket is going in the shredder.

The 3rd round of the NCAA Tournament started yesterday and the first #1 seed has been eliminated. While Louisville got by Colorado State with ease 82-56, #1 Gonzaga of the West faced off against Wichita State. The Shockers were playing catch up with the Bulldogs in the 2nd half but managed to grab the lead late in the half. They would hold off the Bulldogs and pull off the upset 76-70. Gonzaga is out while #9 Wichita State moves onto the Sweet 16.

A big upset in the second round as Gonzaga can't be trusted again. Analysts didn't think they had the staying power but I thought they could beat the odds anyway. So much for that. Now the Shockers will take on Ole Miss or La Salle in the next round.

The nation's eyes will certainly now be drawn to Wichita State. I, of course, will begrudgingly root against them.

P.S. If they are a Cinderella, then I am a wicked stepmo... okay, maybe a stepfather.
