Well, I was 3 for 4 last night... don't feel the same about tonight but here are my picks regardless:
George Mason over Witchita St (don't know if I consider this an upset)
Villanova over Boston College
Florida defeats Georgetown
Connecticut mops the floor with Washington

What a finish! Sorry PLM.
I'm not a real big basketball fan. I enjoy watching March Madness and the playoffs in the NBA but for the life of me I'll never understand the point of 1 and 1 free throws. It's like rewarding the defense for fouling someone especially if they miss the first one.
I'm about in the same boat as you, Homer, in terms of amount of basketball watching, and when. The 1 and 1 free throws is a bit odd, but another NCAA rule I don't get- the possession arrow. When two guys tie up the ball, and the ref signals jump ball (just like in the NBA), but they don't jump it, possession goes to whoever the arrow is pointing to at that time.. what is the problem with just jumping the ball? They do it to start the halves, why not when the ball gets tied up? Doesn't make sense that a "tie" automatically goes to a certain team, and you know which team has the arrow, so you can tie someone up on purpose just to force a turnover and give your team the ball. But, I'm not really into the college sports, maybe there's a reason for it, or maybe it's just one of those wacky things that they have to have to make themselves different from pro sports, I don't know.
