The second day of the tournament started out swimmingly. Arizona upset Oklahoma to complete the Pac-10s first round perfection. I was especially impressed because Arizona really didn't play their best game and there was definitely room for improvement. They're going to have to improve their play for Tuesday's game because they're going up against the overall number one seed, LSU.
The only other game I was interested in was the New Mexico-Purdue contest. Unfortunately, the Lobos fell to the lower seeded Boilermakers. Good thing I didn't have too much invested in that game.
Other games that caught my eye:
Tennessee put the smack down on Western Carolina. The two schools are separated by less than two hours and the Carolina coach used to play for Summitt, but that's not the real significance of the match. With this win, Pat Summitt lifted herself into a tie at the top of the all-time career coaching wins list. If Tennessee beats Purdue on Tuesday, and there's no reason they shouldn't, she'll be setting the record with every future victory. Mind blowing career milestone.
Liberty took out the four seed Penn State team in a well played game. This is only the fourth time in tournament history that a thirteen seed has taken out a four seed. The prize for winning? Taking on DePaul (who looked very beatable against Virginia Tech today) in the second round. Should be interesting.
That's about it for the Sunday games. Oh. One more thing. Did I mention that the Pac 10 conference is perfect? Oh. Must've slipped my mind.
Pac 10 (5 wins - 0 losses)
