I was glad that Ole Miss beat North Carolina.

X is dangerously close to letting this one really get away.  They need a run here soon.

Xavier is done. 

UConn holds off Oklahoma and win by 8 at 67-59.

I had a hard time going against chalk. I had to go back and talk myself into some upsets.

Same.

Hoping for some excitement this weekend. Let’s be real. Days 1 and 2 were a bore fest and the majority of games were just blah.

What is chalk? I’ve heard that term a million times already.
