Analysis of Day Two NCAA tourney action from periodic score-checking at work

Virginia's defense was much too much for a scrappy but overmatched Albany team. J.R. Reynolds played like a man with something to prove.

Creighton and Nevada played a thriller for the ages. But in the end, Fazekas and Kemp were too much for the Bluejays.

Though able to stop the 'Throp for intermittent periods throught the game, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish ultimately did not stop the 'Throp efficiently or regularly enough to notch a win.

Tennessee's scoring attack put on a spectacle in their blowout win over Long Beach St.

Wisconsin did not look like a 2-seed in the first half, but Bo Ryan must have said some magic words at halftime, as the Badgers played like a team possessed in the second half of their win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Georgia Tech gave a great effort against UNLV, but in a matchup of good players, the Runnin' Rebels' two scorers with 19 each outplayed the Yellow Jackets' two scorers with 11 each.
