Re: NCAA Tournament thread - Play-In games and Round of 64
Ah, that's it. Thanks Slolz. Lehigh knocking off Duke remains my favorite of the long-range upsets but the one I remember seeing, because the entire game was televised, first game of the day maybe, was Richmond knocking off Syracuse 20-some-odd years ago. Don't remember Cleveland State(14) beating ...

Got an alert from my March Madness app about the Illinois game, so I turned it on.
I have now watched about one minute of Illini basketball this year. Two possessions, two turnovers.

My kid finally had a debate tournament to compete in - all the other ones this year have been for high school, but he is in middle school so they haven't had any tourneys until now. He and his partner finished sixth. Out of six teams.

Apparently she could have been tried after she regained her sanity, but Waitkus declined to press charges.
It sounds like she made it the rest of her life without shooting anyone, so this was probably a case where temporary insanity really was responsible.
