Bracket Busters

As the Sweet 16 starts on Thursday, there are few bracketeers whose brackets aren't looking like a train wreck. First, Villanova made a spark of their own when they downed an unsuspecting Clemson Tigers team. Little did they know that a bigger upset was awaiting them in the second round when Siena beat a good team in Vanderbilt. Where in the name of Dick Vitale is Siena?Later in that Midwest region, there were more upsets. I can live with you if you say Davidson over Gonzaga isn't a huge upset (10 beating a 7), but then they took their luck to the second round and took the number two seeded Georgetown Hoyas. Then in the West region is where things got ugly. Who would have picked Drake, Cinderella Drake, to go down in the first round, and to of all teams, Western Kentucky. Nostradamus couldn't have seen a shot like that to end any game for that matter in the first round. WKU played a team with an upset just as big. San Diego defeated Connecticut to shock the world. But the West region wasn't done busting brackets. In the second round, heavily favored Duke couldn't out play West Virginia. However look at the East and South brackets, there wasn't one upset, unless you count a #9 over a #8, or a #5 over a #4.
