First Day of Games

Not a lot of big surprises as the day rolls on. Marquette drops to Michigan State without Jerel McNeal. Just about every other higher seed came through...

Except Duke. The Blue Devils are going home in the first round for the first time in over a decade. Congrats to Eric Maynor and all the VCU Rams for a great upset.

Big game tomorrow at 2:30. The season has all come down to one contest at a time. Win or go home.

It's not a great way to end the year, but it has still been a terrific season. Props to the guys for making it this far. What 'til next season.

You're too optimistic about next year, blackandgreen. Me, I won't believe it until I see it.

This team was not supposed to go anywhere, but obviously impressed all season long.

Losing the two seniors really hurts, but two freshmen have come through this season. Add in Kyle McAlarney and four recruits. Also do not forget Joe Harden. That is the kind of guy who could really contribute next season after sitting most of this year.

It's disappointing of course, but one loss does not erase what a great year these guys had. ND is back on the basketball map.
