Sadly, this will be the final Breakfast of Champions. But fear not, we'll be going with Bracket Racket everday until Selection Sunday.....
UCLA 77 Stanford 67 (OT)
Fantastic game....the final score isn't a very good indication of the game, as the Cardinal were emotionally shot when this thing went to overtime. The Cardinal lead throughout, but the Bruins sent it to overtime with some timely rebounds (how could Stanford be out rebounded so bad with Lopez twins downlow?) and very , very favorable foul calls in the final :30 seconds to help send this one to overtime. Still feeling good about Stanford as a Final Four sleeper and UCLA as the NC favorite.
Saint Joseph's 71 Xavier 66
Huge bubble win for Saint Joe's in the final game at the Fieldhouse. SJU fans storm the floor.....we'll allow it due to the final game at the Fieldhouse.
Providence 85 UConn 76
Friars get season sweep of Huskies. PC fans storm the floor....we'll not allow do to the fact the Friars aren't even going to the NIT.
Oregon 67 Arizona State 61
We'll stick with the Sun Devils being in the tournament for now...
Wintrhop 61 High Point 53 UNC-Asheville 75 Liberty 57
I know this Extra P's auto-bid territory, but I''m way too excited about Big Kenny facing Winthrop in the first conference final of the season.

nice link to the NIT bracketology site. I'll take anything I can get right now.
Stanford won that game...in my mind. There is nothing like home cooked foul calls at in the last minute of a game.
