The games start today! The excitement continues to build.
This thread is for Round 1, Day 1 games discussion. I will create a thread each day where we can discuss NON UConn games. I will, of course, create game day threads for the UConn games. Starting with tomorrow's game which will be created right after I create this thread.
Let the games begin, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

I only care about one game, and it's tomorrow. Nervous as a chicken in a meat packing plant.

North Carolina off to a hot start against Michigan State. Announcers have been hyping up Michigan State's offense, but they are stagnant. UNC seems to be bigger, and the Spartans keep running into the trees without a plan.

Running into trees, my biggest fear.

UNC pulls it out. Rooting hard against UNC and Duke...for obvious reasons....

LSU-Rice is a five point game in the third quarter.
ETA: I think I just jinxed Rice. Sorry!

Holy Crap! Louisville lost to Middle TN, even though the Cardinals were up 16 after the 1st Q!! Brackets busted already. Bummed but encouraged a bit because most others are in the same boat. |

Maryland/Iowa State is interesting. Tied going into the fourth, I think (I'm not entirely paying attention).

Iowa State looks like they will send the turtles packing. Always nice to see Brender lose.
Audi Crooks with an incredible 39 points for Iowa State. And still 43.6 seconds left.

Not sure I can stay up, but at 10:00 EDST Stanford will play and go down to Norfolk State. UConn will run the table, and Geno will pass Tara in most career wins.

Middle Tennessee comes back from 18 down and it isn't even the biggest comeback of the day.

Nebraska hung on to beat Texas A&M on free throws with one second left. Go Huskers!
