So what. Tennessee almost lost to Winthrop. During the game, I ran into GW Director of Athletics Jack Kvancz. Kvancz has been to, probably, all the Final Fours in the last 20 years. He knows his stuff.

He said good teams tend to get shaken up in their first round matchups. They hold on to win that opening round and that feeling doesn’t return. The Vols, led by coach of the year candidate Bruce Pearl, have to face Wichita State tomorrow. The Shockers shocked me big time. I saw them dominate Seton Hall this morning and was throughly impressed by their play. They don’t make that many mistakes and play with a great deal of confidence.

GW tips off in 33 minutes from now. Highest seed in team history. Excited yet?
