Focusing on the work bracket, Ohio State and Arizona (with significant help from Wisconsin) have wins for me today, I&#8217;m really hoping Bucknell holds on, but not as much as Iowa needs to spend the last 14 seconds not f&#8217;ing around and winning this game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2:37pm<\/strong> &#8211;  Dear Iowa&#8230; Kiss my ass.<\/p>\n<p>Could Northwestern (State) possibly have run that last possession any more perfectly wrong? A two ties it for ya, and they throw up a very closely guarded three, save a long rebound by their fingernails and nail the winner on a shot that makes the Tennessee winner look like a lay-up. One loss on the day, and it&#8217;s an Elite Eight team for me. Blech.<\/p>\n<p>-Bucknell is trying their best to do an Iowa impersonation on me. MAKE YOUR DAMN FREE THROWS!<\/p>\n<p>Ah, chaos ensues and Bucknell can put it away at the line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1:48am<\/strong> &#8211; Yeah, the leprechauns got me, little bastards. Some exciting games, though! Kansas pisses away another Elite Eight team for me, but 26-6 for the first round and all Final Four teams left, I&#8217;m doin&#8217; all right.
