I meant "boring" with regards to actual upsets. It was the most tame weekend in the modern era of the NCAA tournament, since the expansion to 64/65 teams in 1985. As Joe Lunardi writes on ESPN.com, just one prior tourney (1989) has given us a lower Sweet 16 seed score (the sum of the seeds of the remaining teams) and this is only the 2nd time there hasn't been at least one double-digit seed in the regional semis. Teams were in "trouble," but did they actually lose? No, only overrated Wisconsin goes down. In five years (or even five days, really), who's gonna care that Purdue hung around with Florida for 37 minutes?
