After a lackluster first day, the last three days of the NCAA tournament have been fantastic. Tight finishes, overtime, and a few Cinderellas have made their way into the Sweet Sixteen.

Unfortunately, the only halfway local teams still in play is Louisville, Western Kentucky and Tennessee (Bruce Pearl!). IU didn’t make it out of the first round and Purdue succumbed to a much more experienced Xavier.

Things are definitely up in the air in terms of who is going to come out on top in the It’s Evansville Bracket Challenge. After the first four days of the NCAA tournament, here is the top 5:

1. Michael Weber - 50 Points
2. Bryan Sulcer - 48 Points
3. Brian Hambidge - 46 Points
4. Kyle Evans - 45 points
5. Tony Gumbel & Anonymous - 44 Points

I’m hanging tight in 7th place with 43 points. Luckily, I still have my entire final four in play, and only Duke has tarnished my Elite 8.

How’d your bracket survive?

If you’re fortunate enough to have DirecTV or Insight in Evansville, then you were treated to the launch of college football coverage on the Big Ten Network.

How’d it go?

Well… only what may have been the greatest upset in the history of college football.

Appalachian State 34, Michigan 32.

That’s right. A Division 1-AA football team went into one of the hardest college football venues for road teams, and in front of 109,000 opposing fans, upset an annual power.

Outstanding.
