NCAA Tournament, day 2

Day two was definitely a much more exciting day than day one. There was 2 overtime games, 4 games decided by two or less points, a handful of bracket-busting upsets (Cleveland St.-Wake Forest) and a couple almost disasters (yes, that'd be you Pittsburgh).

Funny, one of the most boring 9 and a half minutes to start a game ends in one of the most exhilarating games we'll see all tournament. Wisconsin and Florida St. combined for 15, you read right, 15 measly points in the first 9.5 minutes. Sure, the defense was great, but it was just painful. In the end, all was well, it was a fantastic finish-even though i had FSU going on to victory.

Is it just me, or are some college officials becoming way too full of themselves? Some of the refs walk around with more inflated egos than almost all of the coaches and players on the court. Its getting ridiculous! It'd be one thing if the performance of said referees was off-the-charts amazing, buttttttt....they SUCK! How does Marshall Moses of OK ST get a tech for doing one tenth of the dunk/pull up that I think it was Jamelle Horn of Zona did???? It was atrocious! And then whenever a player questions a call, even if they do it as polite as possible, the refs just laugh at the kids and tell them they're wrong (when half the time the ref blantantly blew the call). I know that being a referee on that level is hard and there is no way on earth anyone could make every call 100 percent right, but at least have some class when you officiate. Don't act more immature than the 18 year old college freshman that is sharing the court with you.

Well, Round 2 starts tomorrow, should be another exciting day of college basketball.
