Adam Morrison is only going to save Gonzaga so many times, and he used one up last night. BC I thought was really overrated... Some interesting stuff from SI: analyzing "<a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/ncaa_tourney/2006/2006/03/playing-numbers-game.html" rel="nofollow">efficiency ratings</a>" and <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/ncaa_tourney/2006/2006/03/defending-your-bracket_13.html" rel="nofollow">checking their defense</a>. BC and Gonzaga rated poorly on both. I also think Tennessee loses to Wichita State next round. WSU played both MSU and Illinois very tough, and they're going to be a tough out. Today's upsets: Southern Illinois (I always pick the Salukis) over West Virginia and Kent State over Pitt. I'd also watch out for Northern Iowa over Georgetown.
