My Weekend in Sport :: Baylor Advances, Sporting KC Wins, and Basketball History

Baylor Advances

My alma mater, Baylor University, advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.  Brady Heslip hit 9 three pointers in the Bears 80-63 victory over the 11th seeded Colorado Buffaloes.  That's insane.

Bracket Challenge and Basketball History

Matt Williams is leading my bracket challenge at the moment out of 34 entries.  I'm tied for last.
