...best of all, no oral roberts in either dance.

It was nice to see North Dakota St. put up a spirited fight against the defending champion Kansas Jayhawks. No disrespect to the Bison, but I picked KU in my bracket. It had less to do with talent and more to do with experience.

I went 23-9 in the first round and 13-3 in the second. Not too shabby, although I expect better of myself than dropping nine like that.

Over on the women's side, congrats to South Dakota State for advancing to the second round of the women's Big Dance™. They'll take on tenth-seeded Baylor tomorrow night.

Most of all—and I don't mind saying this—it was nice to see someone other than Oral Roberts in either tournament.

You heard me. No, I'm not an objective bystander. :-)
