Oakland wins, next up North Carolina

In the feel good story of the year, the Oakland University Golden Grizzlies defeated Alabama A&M 79-69, to advance to play #1 seed North Carolina. Rawle Marshall led the way for the Grizzlies with 29 points as they dominated the game from the start. Here's some articles on Oakland's incredible run...

My view: Besides being a great story, it gives the school some national publicity and gives the players a chance to shine on a national stage. It might not be much fun when the actual game rolls around, but it's something they will never forget. My hat is off to coach Greg Kampe and his Golden Grizzlies, you make us Michiganders proud!

Plus one of these years a #16 seed is going to knock off a #1, so why not this year?

I saw some of it. I was just turned off by being called an idiot for disagreeing with one of your writers, so if I don't seem quick to comment, don't be surprised.
 
it was a joke..
