The first day of NCAA was an exciting day this year. I had heard several experts predict that the tournament would be wide open this year based on the lack of any truly dominant teams during the regular season, however I don't think anyone expected the full amount of upsets that took place.
In the first day alone, 7 upsets took place. Not only that, several of the games were decided by plays in the closing moments of their games. Georgetown, ranked third in their bracket fell to the lowly 14th ranked Ohio in a game that wasn't even close. Two 6th seeds, Marquette and Notre Dame also fell in the first round, beginning a trend of Big East let downs throughout the tournament.
Due to all of the upsets, my bracket, as well as most of America's I imagine, was utterly destroyed. People who chose their teams arbitrarily this year could stand a better chance than even the keenest bracketologist. The exciting first day set off a tournament filled with underdogs and should be fun to watch.
