It certainly didn't take long to find some upsets and buzzer beaters in this years' version of March Madness. We're not even done with the first night and some high ranked teams have already gone down. And I would just like to point out that I was the only one of those who voted that picked Richmond to upset Vanderbilt. So let's get a quick recap of the upsets of the day.
As I said I picked this one :) Richmond, from what I saw had the lead for most of the second half, and while it was a close game all the way to the end, they were able to hold off Vandy and hang on to the 12/5 upset. Does that mean the other 5 seeds are safe? West Virginia already won their game. That leaves Kansas State and Arizona.
I think this is the one that no one saw coming. Louisville has had a pretty good season, and they had a good run in the Big East Tournament. And along comes little Moorehead State. No way Rick Pitino can let his guys get beat by them. Think again. Moorehead State hit a 3 with about 4 seconds left to win the game by 1.
Then there were the near upsets. #4 Kentucky only managed to win by 2 over #13 Princeton. And Temple and Butler each only won by 2 over their opponents: Penn State and Old Dominion. It's been a crazy night, and I'm sure we can expect more of the same. I love March Madness!
