The first real day of the NCAA Tournament delivered everything we love about March Madness with multiple buzzer-beaters and major upsets. The Day's biggest upset saw the 13 seed Morehead State Eagles knock off the number 4 seeded Louisville Cardinals with a 3-pointer in the final seconds to secure a 62-61 victory. Sadly I had Louisville going to the Sweet 16 in almost every bracket this year.
Other exciting action saw last year's cinderella National Championship runner-up Butler slip past Old Dominion on a last-second tip-in to advance with a 62-60 victory. The other big surprise (except to myself, see previous post) was the 12th seeded Richmond Spiders defeat of number 5 Vanderbilt. The 13 seed Princeton Tigers gave 4 seed Kentucky (as well as those who picked them for the Final Four) a scare before the Wildcats were able to eke out a victory with a last-second basket of their own to move on 62-60.
This is usually the time where I rip my bracket to shreds for being so terrible but I personally had a decent day with 14 0f 16 games correct missing only the Louisville game and 11 Gonzaga's win over St. John's which will prove costly as I had the Red Storm in the Elite 8. Anyways I currently stand in about 17,000th place on ESPN.com with is admirable but I'm certain that before tomorrow is over I'll be lucky to crack the top 1,000,000 in any of my brackets.
