Championship Week Video Notebook: Friday, March 11th

Thursday of Championship Week!  One of the busiest days of the year!  Chad, David, and John look back on all the action as all of the power conferences are now underway.  We saw a couple of big upsets in the Big Ten as Illinois knocked off Iowa and Nebraska took down Wisconsin.  Vanderbilt also lost to Tennessee in a very surprising result in the SEC.  Other than that, for all the upsets we’ve seen in some of the smaller conferences, including Conference USA where top seeded UAB went down in the quarterfinals today, chalk has pretty much held in the power conferences.

We recap all of the action, and preview all of the games tomorrow, including a hugely important game in the American between Cincinnati and UConn where the winner will be in good shape, and the loser may be out.
