Day 2

Day Two of the tournament saw the results return to form with only one upset 
according to the seeding, Cornell over Temple, and no buzzer beaters. The Big 
Ten won 4 of 5 with only Minnesota losing. (The best news for Badger fans is 
Tubby Smith is rumored to be headed to Auburn.) Cornell has size and that could 
spell big trouble for the Badgers. 
 
Michigan State struggled to beat New Mex State and got some help from the refs 
with a late lane violation call. Nex Mex State guard took the prize for being 
the biggest whiner when he rolled around on the floor interminably after a 
phantom poke to the man region.  
 
Izzo said the Spartans played great. Huh? I thought they looked like a team 
headed for the exits in round two. 
 
At the beginning of day 3 I could still say, "I'm still in first place."
