I went to bed before the last game was over, but Pittsburgh had Wright State beaten, so nothing was in doubt. Pitt now gets VCU in the 2nd round. VCU is getting lots of love, as they beat the hated Duke Blue Devils.
Kelvin Sampson won a first round game at Indiana, as they knocked off Gonzaga. I wish he'd have done that more at OU. The Hoosiers, though, run into the juggernaut that is UCLA. Good luck with all that.
For a short time last night, Eastern Kentucky gave North Carolina fits. They went on a 39-12 run to cut the UNC lead to 4. The Tar Heels pulled away, though, to win by 21.
When does X beat Y? Last night, as Xavier beat the Y, or BYU. Now, the X-Men have a date with The Ohio State University.
Overall, it was a dud first day of the tournament. Only three lower seeds won, and two of those were #9 over #8 seeds. I picked too many blown upsets, as I went 11 of 16 for the day. The Wife got smart, and picked all favorites. She has been known for picking teams according to color, or for using the geography method, picking teams by state. This year, she picked predominantly to seed, except for the 8-9 games. Therefore, she went 15-1 yesterday, only missing Duke.
Here's hoping the Albany Great Danes make some noise today...
