Editor's Note: One of my friends, let's just call him "Hoosierfan," decided not to do anything on Friday except watch games and send emails to me while I was working to update me on the action. He agreed to let me post his account of what transpired on Friday afternoon, along with some of my own editorial comments.

First of all... Davidson is really good, and I wish I had picked them. They're doing quite well against gonzaga, but - gonzaga has to play at north carolina (which is much closer to Davidson), so Gonzaga got the shaft.
American, on the other hand, should be beating Tennessee, but there have been 12 "steals". By "Steals", I mean, the tennessee guy grabs the American's guy arm and takes the ball away, and then they call the american guy for a foul! Of course, the announcers don't even comment on it - they say - "Wow, those American guys have to figure out how to not turn the ball over."
Subject: Refs Blew the Drake Game in Regulation
Time: 2:50PM
The refs blew it in the drake- W.Kentucky game (and the announcers support
the refs, of course - its like part of the contract to air the games);
With 20 seconds left, tie game, WKY ball. WKY guy drives along the baseline, a drake guy throws himself in front of him, and somehow draws a charge. It should have been a blocking call, or no call. Definitely not a charge. This call helps to get the game into overtime.
Subject: W. Kentucky buzzer-beater!
Time: 3:09PM
Holy crap! WKY hit a buzzer beater from like 30 feet to win with 2 guys in the guys face! (Editor's Note: This was all part of the refs screwing up the game in regulation. It was part of their plan clearly).
