Let’s recap activities from Wednesday for those teams who have never made the Sweet Sixteen since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985 aka the Never Been Kissed.
Virginia Tech went cold as ice and Notre Dame kept their dim hopes alive as the Irish downed the Hokies in the ACC tournament. Va Tech drops to a 9-seed on Lunardi’s bracket but are still safely in the field of 68, it seems.
Congratulations to Bucknell on their second consecutive NCAA tournament berth, as the Bison demolished Colgate in the finals of the Patriot League.
No conference finals slated for Thursday or Friday, just quarterfinal and semifinal action until the weekend. I will be watching the Michael Porter Jr show, and trying to catch Webster Groves in the state quarterfinals.
