How's Your Bracket So Far?

Day two of the NCAA tournament is underway. Yesterday offered little in the upset department, and not much as far as excitement goes besides UCLA's escape from VCU and local underdog CSUN's scare of Memphis. Today, Louisville, the top seed in the entire tournament and the most popular pick in the LAist bracket to win it all, takes the court against 21.5 point underdog Morehead St. Speaking of the LAist group, as promised, we've got a prize. The winner of the LAist group will take home an XBOX 360 Elite System thanks to the good people at Microsoft. Also on tap for today, red hot USC takes on Boston College at 4:20.
