Saturday was a day when the rubber hit the road. The wheat got separated from the chaff. Go big or go home.
You get the idea.
There was only one crushing defeat: Providence hammered Richmond 79-51.
The rest were pretty intense and hard fought.
Starting locally, UNC went up 25 on #1 seed Baylor but then Brady Manek got tossed for an elbow to the head of Jeremy Sochan and Baylor put on an amazing comeback to put the game into overtime.
Sochan seemed to be everywhere. He took that elbow. On another play Armando Bacot, who was on the ground, put his legs in a vise.
