WRAF Sports Update

Hello, Rob Wegman here and it’s time for the WRAF Sports Update.

The East and West Regions are both down to their final two teams after last night’s Sweet 16 match-ups. The game of the night was the unheralded contest between Xavier and West Virginia, which took a period of overtime to decide. Xavier eventually pulled it out and they will face UCLA, who survived a late run against Western Kentucky to advance to the Elite Eight. In the East, North Carolina and Louisville handled Washington State and Tennessee fairly easily, setting up their game with a trip to the Final Four on the line.

As for tonight’s action, the other two #1 seeds will look to join UCLA and UNC in the next round with Kansas taking on Villanova and Memphis facing Michigan State. Meanwhile, upstart Davidson will look to keep the good times rolling against Wisconsin and Stanford takes on Texas in a classic battle of styles. Friday night has never looked so good.

That’s your afternoon sports update sponsored by Toccoa Falls College. By the time Monday gets here, another round of games will have happened and the Final Four will be all set. Enjoy the games and remember that ruined brackets make great paper airplanes.
