Isaiah Thomas is still playing most of his games after most people have gone to bed. But he'll make a name for himself if the Huskies upset North Carolina tomorrow.

Leading off

Upsetville? Some people still call it Richmond, Va. but that was for the centuries before it became apparent that the Virginia capital is a nurturing ground for giant killers, dragon-slayers etc. Just this year the Richmond upset Vanderbilt and Virginia Commonwealth hammered Georgetown after winning the play in game.

But its not just this year. Richmond has made a living off of bouncing big boys with five wins as a No. 12 seed or higher. VCU, meanwhile beat Duke on Eric Maynor's game winning shot in 2007.

Richmond will play today as the higher seed against Morehead, while VCU will get a chance to enhance its reputation against No. 3 Purdue on Sunday. 

Fearless prediction:

Kentucky beats West Virginia.

What to look forward to today:

UCLA vs. Florida - These two heavyweight programs will play for the third time in in the NCAA Tournament in recent years. The last two ame in the Final Four.

Question I don't know the answer to:

Will VCU's win make people think that there's an advantage to play in the play-in game?

Buzzer beaters:

The NCAA committee can't be happy that there are two Big East vs. Big East matchups in the second round.
