Kansas dissappoints millions


It was the biggest upset of this year's NCAA basketball tournament. Number one seed, Kansas, lost to Northen Iowa, number nine seed. Kansas was favored to win the entire tournament. Just about everyone in America agreed and expected for Kansas to win the whole thing. They defeated LeHigh in the first round and were on a roll.


Everyone's bracket was messed up due to the Kansas loss. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had Kansas going all the way to the National Championship, along with Kentucky. I had Kentucky winning, so I wasn't that upset, but it did mess up my bracket big time!


This year's tournament has had so many upsets so I wasn't that shocked when I saw that Kansas had lost. I just hope Kentucky can keep winning so my bracket isn't completely demolished!

Uc lost at the buzzer


Cincinnati was in the race for the NCAA tournament, beating Rutgers and Louisville two nights in a row. They played ex UC coach, Bob Huggins' team, West Virginia only to be sadly defeated within the last couple seconds of regulary. West Virginia lead most of the game until the last ten minutes.


UC came back and changed the momentum of the game. Cincinati fans were excited and hopeful for a win as the game was winding down to the final second. It was tied 51-51 with 6 seconds only to turn the ball over. West Virginia then had possesion with 3 seconds left. The ball was thrown in bounds and Butler threw up a 3 pointer with close to one second left. The crowd went silent. The ball banked off the backboard and went in.


UC played a tough game and proved to everyone that they can compete with top name teams and hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and improve as a team for next seasons and more to come.
