Okay freaky is an overstatement. But what a night of basketball.
First the obvious: with two teams (so far) in the Elite Eight, Planet Basketball owes the ACC an apology.
The annual infatuation with the over-rated Big Ten, followed by a flameout, has occurred and concluded. Michigan fell on Thursday and Purdue fell to a more determined bunch of Peacocks from Saint Peter’s.
Big Ten? Gone.
PAC-12? Gone.
Big 12? One. The usual suspect.
SEC? One.
ACC? Try three.
We said all year it was a really competitive league even if it was supposedly down.
