Corn Flakes: Big Ten Baseball Begins Conference Play, WBB in NCAA

David McGee

There isn't a whole lot going on in the football world. Everything is about the NCAA Basketball tourney, and what a wild bunch of games in the first round. If you didn't watch, you missed the plays linked below, along with the Big 12 going 0-3 (losses by Texas, Baylor, and Iowa State).

There have been five one-point games so far with games still being played as I loaded up on cough medicine and went to bed.
