CBS just cut to a news brief about the situation in Pakistan; sounds like Pakistani forces think they may have found Osama or his #2 man, and are engaged in a pretty big fight with al Qaeda forces. I only mention it b/c tourney time might be interrupted by this if there are any big developments. For now, it's back to the Tide-Salukis game.

In the other games: VCU has taken a 1-point lead on Wake with under 15 seconds left until halftime, St. Joe's is pummeling Liberty, and BYU is hanging around with Syracuse in a high-scoring game (23-21) around midway through the first half.

Salukis continue to chip into the Alabama lead whenever the Tide try to pull away: 6:15 left, 59-55, 'Bama
