It’s tough to say that Adam Morrison and his team got upset by UCLA consider the UCLA has the higher seeding, but this certainly isn’t the way Gonzaga hoped to send their star to the NBA. UCLA had been down for over 39 minutes of the game. One thing that will come out of it: you’ll likely find that bloodied gauze back on eBay, for you obsessive fans.

The bigger story of the night was Duke being upset by 4th seed, LSU. The Landlord (Shelden Williams) controlled the paint, but J.J. Redick had an off night (connecting on only 3 of his 18 shots) and LSU played too physical of a game for the Blue Devils.

The Texas-West Virginia game had an insane finish. Kevin Pittsnogle hit a clutch three with five seconds to tie the game and send it in to overtime. West Virginia, instead of calling time, throws the inbound pass and the ball gets down to Kenton Paulino who nailed a three just as time expired. Pittsnogle said, “We thought we had a pretty good shot to go into overtime. (Kenton Paulino) just tossed it up and it went in.” Talk about a great finish.

Amare Stoudemire was a success in his season debut. He scored twenty points and grabbed nine boards in just nineteen minutes. If he isn’t on a team in your fantasy league for some reason, make sure you go grab him…

Now Steve Francis is the whiner in the Big Apple. Francis has told reporters that he didn’t come to New York to come off the bench, and if it continues he’ll demand to be traded. I don’t know what the franchise (the Knicks) can do to turn the team around.

There’s some draft news stirring up, with Joakim Noah. Chad Ford believes he could go as high as number four…Another name is LSU freshman forward Tyrus Thomas, who helped lead the Duke upset.
