  Technical difficulties be damned! Time for some more blogging in semifinal #2.
  
  
  8:54 PM: Great start to this game...uh, yeah. Really great. Two fouls on Afflalo, neither team hitting anything. Four combined points in the first 3:30. Now UCLA hits two free throws, giving the Bruins as many [...]

  I feel remiss, having not generated a great deal of content during the latter half of this tournament. But really, what has there been to write? Let's review:

  I was feeling all guilty because I had to go away to an academic conference and didn't get to blog at all about the first two days of the tournament...yet when we look at the games as they played out, there wasn't much to blog home about, was there? The [...]

  Alright, it's time. After about 48 hours of hemming and hawing, it's time to tackle this badboy. But first, some reader mail!
  
  Dear Netwire:
  
  I just don't see why everyone is picking Texas A&M. Aside from having to travel to a virtual road game against Louisville, I just' [...]

  What would bracket time be without some controversy? Let's take a look around the country at some of the troubled tales permeating the otherwise serene basketball landscape.
  
  - They're highly irritated in Niagara, and I can't blame them. The Purple Eagles, winners of the MAAC automatic bid, were' [...]

  Well, after almost three weeks of metaphorical bracket cooking, it's time to sit down and enjoy our meal. The NCAA Selection Committee has spoken, the field has been filled, and the play-in game is less than 48 hours away, as we get started with the 2007 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

  Well, we didn't do too badly this year. All in all, I thought the tournament committee was somewhat predictable this year. Some items surprised me, but we'll get to that later this evening.
  
  Let's start off by looking at the final NetWire bracket versus the final NCAA bracket.

  You know it's been a long night when you look up at the clock and wonder why it's suddenly 3:30 AM. I'm still not used to this Daylight Savings Time thing. We never used to have it in Indiana. I don't mind it per se (it was nice having all [...]

  Saturday dawned ugly for bracket world. The upsets of yesterday, combined with a vague level of uncertainty about several remaining tournaments, has created a peculiar situation where no one is really sure of ANYTHING anymore.
