We've been a little quiet here on the site regarding the NCAA Tournament, especially considering USC's postseason ban and the lack of Pac-10 participants - just Cal and Washington. Nonetheless, with Washington's win over New Mexico last night, earning them a trip to the Sweet Sixteen, and Northern Iowa's shocking upset over top seeded Kansas, even the most loyal of Trojan fans can get a little mad for March. So on tap today is some intriguing games with some two-seeds (Ohio State and West Virginia) facing some challenging underdogs. But for most 'SC fans, the game with the most relevance is conference regular season champion Cal facing number-one seeded Duke in Jacksonville, Florida, where the Blue Devils will most certainly have an edge in crowd size. Still, a win by the Bears would give the Pac-10 two teams in the Sweet 16, and even with Syracuse's win over Gonzaga, there is no guarantee that the Big East will even get that many.
So, Fight On! And Go Bears!

You have to wonder
That with Gonzaga’s loss to Syracuse earlier this morning, would Few decided to bounce for Oregon. Is he going to want to stay at GU forever?

Cornell is having their way with Wisconsin
Big Red up by 20. I swear if Jay Bilas didn’t go gay for Cornell I would’ve had them in Sweet 16. I just felt that Bilas was jynxing them.

First half analysis
Cal is struggling to make any outside shots, while Duke is having a much easier time. Additionally, the Blue Devils are playing solid man-to-man defense and forced some ill-advised shots and turnovers. They’re quite vanilla on offense for the most part – just getting a few more second chance points off some rebounds. This will be much more competitive if Cal can hit a few 3s and start doing a better job on the glass.

Cal, which was down 15, just made two 3s
Now down by just 9. Single digits!
--Conquest Chronicles , SBNation's USC Trojans blog
With seven straight misses, Cal needs to start finishin on the offensive end
--Conquest Chronicles , SBNation's USC Trojans blog
Cal made their run but Duke is just better
Blue Devils now leading by 13. It’s now or never for Cal.

Am I the only one
Who put Purdue in the sweet 16? Everyone was making a fuss of Robbie Hummel, BUT I KNEW BETTER…
