Talking to myself, those were two dramatic games last night. Wichita State had a foot on Louisville's throat and let them get away. Michigan beat Syracuse in another game that went right down to the wire. I have to cheer for my conference tomorrow night but won't be disappointed if Louisville wins.

Have I said I love this tournament? One of the things I like most is the players almost never dispute foul calls. In the NBA the players cry all night. None of them seem to think they have ever committed a foul. The youthful exuberance of the college game, players and fans alike, is refreshing.

I mention only in passing that Michigan is the youngest team in the field of 68. They're too young to realize what they can't do.
