The second round was mostly a bummer for those of us who crave upsets, parity, and actual Madness in March. The higher seeds won with depressing ease and regularity. It is always with a twinge of guilt that I flip from the ESPN Family of Networks over to CBS in hopes of finding the owner of the glass slipper.

But lo! Just when all hope was lost, a knight in shining armor appeared: Boston College.

The Eagles used a barrage of three-point shooting to take down Old Man Foster and Old Man Davenport. Kindyll Dorsey had six treys herself. But she wouldn't accept too much credit: "Everyone played so well, and I'm just so happy."

Jen Garrett, BC's biggest blogger fan, says: "Holy fucking shit!"

“This is a tournament that has one winner,” said coach Foster. “Boston College was terrific. I give them all the credit in the world.”

Interviewed by Voepel, Geno reflects on Foster's hard luck:

I think sometimes the NCAA Tournament comes down to one or two individuals who have to make that huge run themselves. I think Jim -- whether he's been at St. Joe's, Vanderbilt or Ohio State -- his style of play, system and philosophy gets them a lot of wins in the regular season. But he just hasn't had the good fortune of having a couple of really big-time players who were able to take it to the next level.

Big winner: the city of Boston, which can use this buzz (at least for the next week, and maybe longer?) to build excitement for the Final Four.

Big loser: Big Ten basketball. No men's teams in the Sweet Sixteen, and only two women's teams. Ouch.
