Tournament Thursday

The tournament is finally here!  The 64 to 1 journey has begun for several eager teams who desire an NCAA title.  Unfortunately for several of the teams, their dreams will have been shattered before the tournament begins, with probabilities and statistics against their favor.  Four of those teams are Morehead State, East Tennessee State, University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, and Radford, who had to respectively face Louisville, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and North Carolina.

For sure the tourney will go well into the wee hours of the morning.  So far the upsets have been minimal, however, the Fighting Illini forgot to show up against Western Kentucky, and ultimately lost the game.  In terms of seeding, it was the largest upset of the day. beyond the usual #8 vs. #9 and #7 vs #10 upsets. See the results here, and get out that red pen for your brackets!
