wasn’t able to read any of last week’s mmp after noon on Saturday; priorities, ya know. Having just read a few from Saturday, here’s the news:

> [@(Old) Top O' the Mundane To Ya- A St. Patrick's Day MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-top-o-the-mundane-to-ya-a-st-patricks-day-mmp/1015709/273):

> And Badgers play tonight!

Dang Badgers. First ones to lose from the Big Ten. Followed shortly on their heels by UCLA. On Saturday Purdue was victorious over McNeese (alma mater of Joe Dumars).  
Sunday Big Ten games were: Illinois losing to Kentucky 84-75, Maryland winning by 1 point on a buzzer beater over Colorado St 72-71, next Michigan State Spartans beating New Mexico 71-63 and lastly Oregon losing to Arizona 87-83.  
So 4 teams from the Big Ten are still dancing their way into the Sweet Sixteen:  
Thursday Game: Maryland plays Florida on TBS 7:30ish  
Friday Games: MSU plays Ole Miss on CBS 7:09  
Michigan plays Auburn on CBS approx 9:45ish  
Purdue plays Houston on TBS approx 10:15ish.

And that’s the report from the NCAA Tournament center in SE Mitten.
