Dancing: Sweet Sixteen Open Thread
March 27th, 2008 at 5:19 pmBy Chris
Well folks, it’s Sweet 16 time. You ready? Starting us off is West Virginia/Xavier with North Carolina/Washington State overlapping.
6:20 – Xavier, who has come from behind in both of their earlier wins, jumps on West Virginia early, 10-2.
6:35 – Xavier/WVU is quickly turning into a rout. Did the Mountaineers think the tournament ended after they beat Duke?
6:40 – However, Washington State/UNC is not. The Cougars are not scared of the Tarheels, benefits of playing in a tough Pac-10.
6:50 – It’s the Danny Green/Aron Baynes show in Charlotte. Meanwhile, it looks like West Virginia found a pulse… or at least the basket. However, they are still 0-6 from behind the arc. Doubtful it continues, though.
7:10 – Washington State is having a tough time scoring… Stating the obvious here, but the if the Cougars are going to stay in this game, they have to start rebounding better. Oh yeah, guarding Danny Green would be smart.
7:15 – Lawson’s 3 might have turned out the Dancing lights for Washington State.
8:15 – One hour on the dot. 
I got everything backwards apparently. WVU came back and WSU wilted. This West Virginia/Xavier finish it going to be a good one.
8:22 – ONIONS!
8:24 – Overtime. Hopefully with some ONIONS.
8:29 – Well, Wazzu held UNC to 68 points… but they only scored 47. Next up for UNC: the winner of Louisville/Tennessee and a trip to the Final Four… provided they win.
8:36 – Lavendar with the 3 and Bill Raftery comes with this gem: the little guy with the big ticker. Love Raftery.
8:42 – ONIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:47 – Xavier advances and I was 6 points away from nailing the score. Yay me.
