Tourney Update

The nation’s capital is buzzing, and it doesn’t even involve politics. The tension comes from eight college basketball teams giving everything they have to keep dancing. Two of the games have already been completed with Xavier holding off an emotionally charged Georgia team 72-61 after the Bulldogs failed to maintain an 11-point lead. On the other hand, the day's second game, which pitted Purdue against Baylor,  was a blowout with the Boilermakers easily handling Baylor's Bears to a tune of  90-79.

 

The night’s main attraction, however, is the match-up between your Belmont Bruins and the No.2 seeded Duke Blue Devils. The Bruins not only will be prohibitive underdogs on the court but also in the stands as Duke fans have flooded D.C. Belmont’s few fans, though, will definitely make up the crowd difference with their spirit. Now, will the Bruin players do the same? Stay tuned!
