CLEVELAND – With four quarterfinals games today I am just going to get the highlights of the games and try to give fans a flavor for what is going.
Game One: WMU vs EMU
Led by David Kool’s 24 points No. 2 seed Western Michigan (20-11) beat No. 7 seed Eastern Michigan (14-17). In a game that Eastern Michigan never led, they did make it interesting when at the 10:34 mark they tied the game at 34-34 when Jarrad Axon made two foul shots, but that was a fleeting moment of joy as the Broncos closed it out to end Eastern Michigan’s season.

What I’m really wondering right now is why I tivoed 30
hours of the NFL Combine in high definition. Naturally, I record anything in HD
if it is available, but boy was that a mistake. The only thing worse than
watching a 350 pound guy running the 40 in 5.82 seconds is watching a 350 pound
guy running the 40 in 5.82 seconds in high definition. Don’t worry, everything
else has to do with college basketball in this week’s “Welser Wonders…”

critics, Bracket Busters weekend is one of the most exciting three days of
college basketball all season if you’re someone that likes mid-major basketball.
Bubble teams that are trying to make a move so they can get one of the last
spots in the NCAA Tournament attempt to catch the committee’s eyes with a big
win, while conference leaders need to grab solid victories to boost their
resumes in case they don’t win the conference tournament.
