Upset day in the books

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The day of upsets is now in the books with Marquette's 89-79 win over Notre Dame. Georgetown was the only winner today wearing white. Actually, they wear gray, but you get my point.

Jerel McNeal finished with a game-high 28, 20 of those in the second half, to lead Marquette. Lazar Hayward added 15.

Local boy Kyle McAlarney (Staten Island, NY) had 20 for the Irish. Four other Irish were in double figures, led by Rob Kurz with 15.

Marquette shot a blistering 17/26 (65%) in the second half, and that was the difference.

Tomorrow's semifinals feature #5 West Virginia vs #1 Georgetown, followed by #7 Pitt and #6 Marquette.

Time to dry off my computer and wet my whistle. Follow along again tomorrow right here.
