Eye-Opener: Who'll get biggest NCAA upset on Day 2?

Comment

Well readers, yesterday many of you correctly predicted the day's two biggest upsets in the NCAA tournament. On our question about which school was most likely to pull off the biggest shocker, 31% of the more than 4,000 readers who voted had Richmond defeating Vanderbilt, and another 16% nailed Morehead State's stunner against Louisville.

Here's your chance to go for the quinella. Tell us who has the best chance to unleash a surprise in today's games involving teams seeded 11-15. (And yes, we're skipping games involving No. 1 seeds, since that David-Goliath takedown has never happened.)

Now then, let's roll out today's game balls for recommended reading, conversation starters and significant fluff that may have surfaced while you were sleeping.

The Barry Bonds jury won't get to hear the voice mails he left for his ex-mistress. And a noted baseball historian predicts eventual inductions for Bonds and Roger Clemens at Cooperstown, regardless of what happens to them in court.

The tab for fixing the Metrodome will be $18 million, tip not included.

Joe Torre will be wearing pinstripes again . . . for Old-Timers Day at Yankee Stadium.

The Knicks sink 20 three-pointers.

Looks like Rick Adelman is toast in Houston.

Morehead State might have the NBA's next Dennis Rodman. At least in terms of rebounding.

Why are the Kings likely moving from Sacramento to Anaheim? Because the difference in demographics is akin to the difference between a No. 1 and a No. 16 seed.

The hearse that carried Dale Earnhardt's body to a funeral home is being sold for $1.5 million? Seriously?

RIP "Mr. Shortstop."

Muhammad Ali is trying to help win the release of two American being held in Iran.
