Gonna keep it brief, because we've got plenty to get to today. If you missed anything from Sunday, here we go.

One big upset, a few unwatchable games and a bubble that continues to permeate throughout the landscape. What's not to love?

—UPSET—Louisville 78, No. 1 Syracuse 68. We've got the feel-good story from Saturday and it's got nothing to do with a small school getting a dance bid. While at the post-game presser last week for Louisville's win over UConn, Rick Pitino said Kyle Kuric was a reliable option for the Cards. Just one of those quotes that gets buried. An afterthought. Then Kuric goes out, scores all of his career-high ... Read More

No. 11 Michigan State 67, Penn State 65. Here's what's tricky about the end-of-the-season results. Do we take this as a warning sign about Michigan State? It's struggled as of late, but how loudly would the alarms have been blaring if MSU dropped a game to Penn State at home two years in a row? If Raymar Morgan doesn't hit two free throws with 12 seconds to go, it's entirely ... Read More

No. 2 Kansas 82, No. 5 Kansas State 65. Story from this game is clear: Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins (still, 17 points) had bad games, yet the Jayhawks stayed in control the entire game, never trailing against the Wildcats. You want your sign this team can win it all? Just look to that fact. K-State isn't reaching the Final Four, but it's a Final Four-capable team. Wildcats also blew ... Read More

No. 1 Syracuse 85, St. John's 66. Syracuse locks up the No. 1 seed in the Big East conference tournament. You know the whole joke about a player who's been around college for four years seemingly having been there for a decade, right? Not funny and all that. Well, to me, time has absolutely flown with this Syracuse club. I can't believe Andy Rautins and Arinze Onuaku are finishing up ... Read More

No. 10 West Virginia 81, No. 19 Georgetown 68. We saw this happen last year to the Hoyas: fall apart down the stretch. But, the Hoyas are going dancing this time around. Man, I am getting freaking GEEKED for the Big East tournament because it's going to be a complete crapshoot. Will Georgetown right itself by then? Why do I still think WVU will have an early exit? I intentionally ... Read More

No. 14 Michigan 53, No. 3 Purdue 44. Eerrrrggggh. Forty-four points in 66 possession for the Boilermakers. That's not exactly how you convince anyone you're a 4-seed, let alone a 1. The 1 is now off the table, regardless of what Purdue does the rest of the way. But, we can note that this was the first loss in 11 games for Purdue; perhaps Hummel's presence would've done little more. I ... Read More

No. 2 Kentucky 82, South Carolina 61. In the last podcast I recorded I mentioned how Patrick Patterson will have a big game in the NCAA Tournament for Kentucky. Whether it comes in the second, third or fourth round, it will happen, I promise you. Patterson showed why he can and will make me look like a smart lucky guy. He had 23 points, eight rebounds and four blocks last ... Read More

And we had two shot-blocking records set last night.

—UPSET—Evansville , No. 25 Northern Iowa . Missouri Valley, beware the Aces. The worst team in the league has now knocked out the top two teams. How often does this happen? Should I be as harsh on UNI as I was on Wichita State? If so, that would mean banishing the Panthers from the at-large picture. I still think they're in the discussion, but this is the kind of loss ... Read More

No. 9 Ohio State 74, No. 11 Michigan State 67. Evan Turner didn't eat breakfast, missed the shootaround and seven shots in the first half but still managed to get 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Somehow. Somehow Turner helps his team again in a big way. It wasn't as dramatic a response to John Wall's Saturday, but it wasn't lost here at CHJ. It was more than just ... Read More

Anything you can do I can do better, etc. Kentucky's close, ugly, thanks-to-John-Wall-but-also-damn-you-A.J.-Ogilvy win/Vandy's loss is the top story coming out of the 58-56 final Saturday. Who to start with? Let's go Big Blue. Wall's big block was another piece of evidence to consider him the player of the year. Evan Turner plays a little later on today, remember. As I wrote earlier this week, the interest these two have garnered is ... Read More

—UPSET—Loyola Marymount 74, No. 13 Gonzaga 66. Yikes. Certainly a worrisome result. Or is it? Gonzaga is 30-2 the past two years. Hey, I said Gonzaga has the ability to win a national title. Now, I'm looking foolish. Gonzaga failed to win because it shot a putrid 26 percent from the floor. And I've said how hard it has to be for the Bulldogs to go into these beehives and ... Read More

An absolutely loaded slate last night. Only one upset, and it barely qualifies. A few other teams put themselves in a bad spot, too. Come inside and give the recap a look.

—UPSET—Virginia Tech 87, No. 23 Wake Forest 83. Seth Greenberg called this his team's best game of the season to date. He's right. And this was the best game on television last night. Malcolm Delaney (follow him on Twitter: @foe23) had 31 points, the fourth time he's scored more than 30 this season. Apparently, super-quick Wake Forest point guard Ish Smith refused to shake hands with Delaney after the game ... Read More

No. 1 Kansas 59, No. 24 Texas A&M 54. This may have been the best chance for a team to pick off KU before the Big 12 tournament. Slowing the Jayhawks down: check. Eliminating Sherron Collins' effectiveness for large portions of the game: check. Negating Cole Aldrich's presence inside: ch ... uh. Aldrich had 12 points, 10 rebounds and the Jayhawks needed all of each. Also, no field goals for ... Read More

Three Big East teams were upset. It's been bizarro world in that conference this year. —UPSET—Louisville 66, No. 2 Syracuse 60. I don't make too much of this result; sometimes teams just have bad games. Syracuse played really badly, yet nearly beat a mediocre Louisville team. The key is to not overreact. I have a Syracuse co-worker. I guarantee she'll be bitching about this in the office this morning. I promise ... Read More
