First Round
Rutgers 85, Robert Morris 42
So relieved Rutgers didn't toy with this opponent & gave the game a solid effort on defense & better than solid on offense. The bracket is already messed up because I reasonably concluded that a middling ACC team, Georgia Tech, can beat a higher seeded, middling Big 12 team, Iowa State, even in Iowa. But "home court advantage" probably made all the difference. Now, the Scarlet Knights play Iowa State.
