Maybe I just haven't paid enough attention the past few years, but there seem to be a few more "upsets" in the conference tourneys.

UCLA beat Arizona, and is currently beating Oregon. they seem to have a shot at the NCAA's.

UNC beat Maryland, a little shocking, but UNC looks to be making a run as well.

Duke is probably going to lose against Virginia, not surprising, but still an upset. Wake should have lost to FSU, but the refs helped them.

LSU beat Florida, getting them into the NCAA's, at least in my book. This might have lost a #1 for Florida.

Texas Tech beat Texas, this might be enough to sneak them in, but they may still have to win the tournament. This might have lost a #1 for Texas.

I'm sure I'm missing some, but it seems like things are a little crazier this year, making it a little more fun than normal. Is this the eveneing out of the college game that has been talked about due to the exodus of young players, or does this happen every year, but with so many ESPN channels I get to see them all live?

Of course as I write this UCLA is in the midst of choking

What i don't get was, i had to pay 10 bucks to see Louisville Vs Memphis.. surely a premier game at the time 4:30 cst.. yet espn chose to show Holy Cross Vs American and Espn 2 showed Sam Houston State Vs Stephen F Austin?

I'm sorry, as much as i think Title games are fun to watch, i would have preferred it to be on free espn and move a crappy game to the ppv network

Cox Cable in Oklahoma City decided to pick up the Conference USA Tournament for free on the Cable Access channel. Don't ask me why either. I guess they couldn't pick up sponsors for yesterday's games, so they were commercial free (at least when I watched), you could hear the announcers talk between the breaks, trying to figure out how to pronounce a name...it was pretty funny.
