I thought I would open a quick entry to set the stage for today’s NCAA Tournament but we’ve got plenty of updated “Wolfpack Discussion” and “NCAA Tournament Talk” availalble by clicking here, including some news on Buzz Williams’ move from Marquette to the ACC (link).
You can click here for BLS’ set up for today, including point spreads. It’s a good line-up today, but I am not that interested in the late games. My top games are bolded below.

The Round of 32 begins on Saturday with eight games, which are a bit more spread out than Thursday and Friday’s frenetic schedules. There is one bit of good news about this reduction in the number of games, you can forget about TruTV again until tomorrow, when the channel picks up the 7:45 p.m. game that airs on CBS this evening.
