Mad(ness) Links

There has been a flurry of action today from conference tournaments all across the country.
Here are some of the highlights from earlier...
1.North Carolina escaped against Virginia Tech thanks to a little help from the officials. Apparently Tyler Hansbrough isn't capable of committing a foul.

2. Kentuck
y's tournament hopes took a big hit as the Wildcats fell to LSU in the SEC tournament. Look out for the Tigers come tourney time.

3. In the Big Ten, both Michigan St and Ohio St were winners today and will meet tomorrow in the semis. Based on the history of the NCAA tournament selection committee there is no telling how many mediocre Big Ten squads will make the dance this year.

4. Back in the weak SEC, South Carolina was dropped by Mississippi St. Sounded like another bubble just burst.

5. Among the mid-majors, American wins the Patriot league and earns a tourney bid by defeating Holy Cross by 16.
