Here are my thoughts about Day 1 of the NCAA Men's basketball tournament.
-I went 15 of 16 in my picks for the day. The only game I missed was UNLV vs. Kent State. I did manage to call the only upset of the day, Kansas State over USC.
-Kansas State was able to overcome Beasley getting 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes of the game. They actually thrived then.
-Duke got lucky. Belmont forgot how to play basketball in the last minute of the game.
-Wisconsin managed to do what always do, win. No, it isn't flashy, but it doesn't have to be.
-George Mason will not be this year's George Mason. Even with a comical pre-game talk from their coach, George Mason was not able to overcome Notre Dame's talent.
-There was at least one good game continuously going on. Except from 5-7, when they didn't show the Stanford/Cornell game in favor of showing the news. Stupid news.
-Georgia gave me a scare. I was not looking forward to losing a Sweet Sixteen team in the first game of the day, but fortunately Xavier was able to send them back to reality.
-Kentucky/Marquette was a good game. Marquette was just able to have a good night, and counter everything Kentucky threw at them. However, Marquette can be very streaky, so look for a bad game coming up.
