MARCH MADNESS DAY TWO UPSETS
Unlike yesterday, Friday turned into UPSET DAY. The people that picked more should be REALLY HAPPY.
6 teams were upset today, with a few being real killers.
UMBC did some thing nobody has ever done before. This lowly No. 16 seed beat Goliath, the No. 1 seed Virginia. And they not only beat them, they crushed them by 20 points.
The No. 9 seed, Kansas, beat No. 8 Creighton by 10
No. 13 Marshall beat No. 4 Wichita State
No. 10 Butler beat No. 7 Arkansas
No. 11 Syracuse beat No. 6 TCU
and No. 9 Florida State beat No. 8 Missouri.

So... The people that took MORE are the winners.

Channel Seven's Winter Paralympics coverage criticised by fans . . . although Australian athletes shine . . . finishing 14th worldwide.

Australia's Winter Paralympic team might be small, but they've crushed it in Pyeongchang.
The 13 athletes won a gold medal in the men's snowboard cross and bronze medals in the women's giant slalom vision-impaired class, women's vision-impaired super-combined and men's banked slalom.
Australia finished 14th on the medal tally, almost 10 spots better than Australia's 23rd-placed effort at the Winter Olympics.
But despite the success, fans haven't been able to watch Australian athletes claim any of those medals live.
And they haven't been shy about letting Paralympics broadcaster Channel Seven know their disappointment, particularly over the network's decision to show a replay of US series Pawn Stars while Simon Patmore won Australia's first gold medal at a Winter Paralympics in 16 years.
Fans had only two chances a day to see Australian athletes compete. Channel Seven broadcast a Paralympics highlights package at 11am on its 7mate channel each day during the games. A repeat was shown on 7TWO at 11pm the same night.

Rafael Nadal's uncle has described how the champion tennis player has suffered immensely due to injury for the bulk of his career, relying heavily on painkillers to get him through matches.
Toni Nadal, the man who was Rafa's coach and mentor for much of his career, said the 16-time grand slam champion was told in 2005 his career was likely over due to a foot injury.
"In 2005 they told us they detected a problem in Rafa's foot — a congenital injury — and the specialist we went to told us that Rafael's career was pretty much finished," Toni Nadal said at the Congreso Murcia Sport and Business on Friday.
"From the end of 2005 on, Rafael had to constantly live in pain. From that time on we couldn't finish training sessions a lot of the time.
The current number two player in the world has endured injuries to his feet, wrist, back, hamstring and, most persistently, his knees, over the years. He most recently suffered a hip injury in the Australian Open in January, forcing him out in the quarter-finals. He has since pulled out of the Acapulco and Indian Wells tournaments.
Toni Nadal said Rafael's foot injury at the age of 19 led to further complications, and a career-long reliance on painkillers.
"A lot of times, almost always, he would have to take a painkiller because the pain would get worse and worse as matches went on," he said. "Because of some insoles that he started using, which solved his foot problem, he started having problems in his knee, back and other parts of his body.
