NCAA Tourney: Round 1

The first day of the NCAA Tournament was hands down the best day of basketball I've ever seen in my nearly 18 years of life. Upsets + buzzer-beaters + overtimes = Simply amazing. In my bracket, I went 23 for 32. I'll tell you what I didn't see coming and what I was pleasantly surprised by.

What I didn't see coming:

1. Notre Dame losing to Old Dominion (Which by the way, is a very depressing name for a University) It's a give in that that are going to be upsets in the Tourney, but Notre Dame was thought to be one of the tougher teams out there and nobody really knows about Old Dominion, seeing how they're a mid-major.

2. Georgetown getting destroyed by Ohio. Seriously????

3. Vanderbilt losing to low seed Murray St. by a buzzer-beater. Vandy played 1 Seed Kentucky close during the regular season, I thought that experience would translate better to the Tourney with some wins.



What I was pleasantly surprised by:

Two Pac-10 teams winning in the first round. I wasn't surprised so much by Washington winning over Marquette, but I thought Cal was overseeded and that they would lose to what I thought was a more experienced Louisville team. Did I mention they both beat a Big East team?

Second round starts today! I hope there's gonna be more drama!
