So much for a great day one. Day Two trumped Day One's action, with six upsets, including four in Tampa, Florida. What's being called "Tampa Turmoil" is four shocking upsets, including two overtimes and two buzzer beaters. WOW. That's all I can say. I saw #12 Western Kentucky shock #5 Drake in the West Region with a 26 foot three-pointer by Ty Rogers at the buzzer of overtime with three guys on him and his team down one point. But that was just the start of the action in Tampa. The next favorite to fall was #4 UConn, with #13 San Diego's De'Jon Jackson hitting a fall-away jumper with 1.2 seconds left for the win. Next up was #13 Siena in the Midwest Region blowing out #4 Vanderbilt 83-62. The final game of the night was #12 Villanova coming back from a 36-18 deficit to #5 Clemson and winning 75-69. Four games. Four upsets. History made in Tampa.
