The Postmen’s NCAA TE part 3: Friday morning musings

March 16th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanR

Duke lost. Yeah, well, that was pretty much expected. Or at least, VCU was a solid upset to pick. I’m sure many of my cohorts across the blogosphere will be all “OMG DUKE SUCKS HAHAHA!” Guess what? You can’t make the Sweet 16 or better every year. They’ll be back, fools.

And speaking of the Duke-VCU game…how clutch was Eric Maynor? Not only did he knock down the game-winner, but he hit two other shots in the waning minutes of the game to get them into position for the win. We’ll see if the Rams can keep this thing going.

That afternoon was boring. Yeah, it’s been said already, but no upsets or close games yesterday aftenoon at all. Hey, not every game can be a thriller. Don’t get greedy, kids.

Xavier-BYU made up for that boredom. Drew Lavendar pulled his best Eric Maynor for the Musketeers. Great finish in that one. Isn’t it nice when as a No. 9 seed you get to play 89 miles from your school? I’m sure BYU wasn’t too happy about that one.

Idong Ibok hurt his elbow. Eek, this was tough to watch. MJD at the FanHouse has a video of it up, but it’s without the multiple replays CBS decided to keep showing. When a better video surfaces, I may throw it up. Actually, whatever. Here it is:

Remind you of anything?

Oh, and Indiana won. We’ll just leave it at that for now.
