Day #2 of 5 is underway down in Charlotte as Virginia looks to extend its season versus Georgia Tech and North Carolina tries to get on the correct side of the NCAA Bubble

The evening session has two California teams, one from Texas βž• the ‘Cuse from Upstate New York. Plenty of good seats πŸ’Ίwill be available for those games.

North Carolina is not accustomed to playing on Day 2 but the folks running things in Charlotte are sure happy to have them in the House today.

Kudos to the Virginia Cavaliers as they rallied back from the brink to pull within 62-60 in the final seconds. Georgia Tech holds on for the 66-60 (2:08)…

#12 – Notre Dame versus #5 – North Carolina is next up…

North Carolina rolls the Fighting Irish 76-56 in a game that wasn’t ever close. ND is the first of three teams that won πŸ† yesterday afternoon but will struggle with better competition today.

That concludes session 2 of 7 and things will get started again at 7pm.

Syracuse, NY is 727 miles from CLT

Dallas, Texas is 1,026 miles away…

2,690 for Palo Alto ( Stanford)

Cal is 2,706 miles away

These are the four teams playing in the night session….

Stanford University holds on to win the battle of the Golden State !

While the three games on opening day were extremely close, there was little reason to believe that any of the three winners could add a follow up victory on Wednesday.

California was the one team that stayed competitive out of the group and the 8-9 game was still in doubt at the end.

Now its on to Day 3 match-ups where we have chalk as the Top Eight have all advanced. Duke, Clemson and Louisville are locks πŸ” for the Big Dance πŸ’ƒ but the next trio (UNC, Wake and SMU) need a victory Thursday to up their chances.

Day 2 is in the books πŸ“š and now its time for the Games to be played with higher stakes. California and Syracuse pulled minor upsets but for the most part we are right where we thought we would be.

The combination of Winter Break for the Students and 2pm Tip on a work day has limited the crowd considerably.

 

SUU is making full line changes, bringing in five new players at a time. The lead is now 38-15, halfway through the 2nd quarter.

The Bucs have made a trio of 3-pointers to raise their spirits a bit. 12 of the 14 SUU players dressed have seen action 🎬.
