Revenge!

As I noted a couple days ago, my Wisconsin Badgers were bounced out of the NCAA men's basketball tournament by Mississippi, and I wanted revenge. Tonight I got it, as Mississippi was defeated by La Salle.

I will also note that four of the teams that made to the Sweet 16 are from the Big Ten. We play in the toughest league in the country.

And by the way, the Wisconsin men's hockey team won the WCHA tournament, assuring them a place is NCAA championship. On, Wisconsin!
