Friday was an incredible NCAA Tournament day, wasn't it?
We had the first day on which a No. 2, No. 3, and a No. 4 seed lost in the first round in NCAA Tournament history — in just the second tournament in which that has ever happened. Six double-digit seeds won on Friday, and after seven won on Thursday (No. 9 seeds went 3-0 on Thursday!), that bunch of surprises led to this first round tying the all-time NCAA Tournament record for first-round upsets. And that Northern Iowa buzzer-beater was just about the best one ever in an NCAA Tournament.
Now, we get to reap the crop of chaos sown on Thursday — except we also get about as awesome a high-profile matchup of No. 4 and No. 5 seeds as there has ever been in March Madness, with Kentucky taking on Indiana, and we get two teams with national title seasons in the last decade in Kansas-UConn, and we get Miami-Wichita State, and ... this is just a great day of college basketball, really. Duke-Yale is an undercard. So is Utah-Gonzaga.
Drink it up. This is going to be awesome.
