Trading for my NCAA contest has opened; Nevada is available if you bid at least 45, Pitt for at least 17, Oklahoma State and Connecticut for at least 23. Bids should be received by me before the games begin tomorrow. Also, Steve and I have a side bet on the Oklahoma State vs. Pitt game; I'd give him 3 cents if Pitt were to win, but he'll give me 2 cents after Oklahoma State wins.Incidentally, Iowa State was ahead 33-20 at half time last night, and Florida State fought back to 47-47. In other interesting news on the women's side, Minnesota beat Kansas State quite soundly, starting with 43-17 in the first half. (This was a two seed playing on the home court of a seven seed.) Minnesota started the season 15-0, but had trouble with a difficult conference schedule.
Incidentally, I find I don't have the stomach to use more violent and crude terms for one women's team beating another, the way I might for men's teams. I'm probably sexist.
Oh, one other point on women's basketball; Iowa State's women host Saint Joseph's in the NIT tomorrow night.
