All right, so there are four games of the NCAA Tournament finished, and three of them have been amazing. (At this rate, every game tonight will be a twenty-point blowout.) Rick Pitino, a man who has suffered enough “morehead” jokes over the last four days to last a lifetime, watched his Louisville Cardinals suffer the first major upset of the tourney, losing 62–61 to Morehead State. The last five seconds were particularly crazy, with a wild, ONIONS! three-pointer from Demonte Harper and a stunning block as time expired from Newark’s Kenneth Faried. Morehead State jokes everywhere, for at least two more days! (They’ll play the winner of Vanderbilt and Richmond.) Meanwhile, Penn State became the first of many Big Ten teams to lose, falling to Temple on yet another buzzer beater. This is ridiculous. We hope you’re not at work.
