The NCAA Tournament is called March Madness for a reason as absolute mayhem ruled day one.
At the time of writing, the following games were still in progress: No. 16 Lehigh vs. No. 1 Kansas, No. 9 Wake Forest vs. No. 8 Texas, No. 11 San Diego State vs. No. 6 Tennessee, No. 14 Montana vs. No. 3 New Mexico.
Winning your office pool clearly depends on how many times you are on the right side of a close game. If you happened to pick Marquette, UNLV, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Sam Houston State, Robert Morris, and Florida then I feel your pain.
Out of 12 afternoon and early evening games, seven went down to the final minute or extended past regulation. Who is sitting atop your pool right now comes down to who flipped the coin the right way.
No. 2 Villanova nearly became the first high seed to lose as No. 15 Robert Morris pushed the Wildcats into overtime. No. 10 Florida had chances to end the game in regulation and the first overtime but could not capitalize as No. 7 BYU pulled away in the second overtime.
In fact, only No. 1 Kentucky, No. 2 Kansas State, and No. 14 Ohio showed any type of authority in dominating their opponents for two halves. Huh, Ohio? Yes, you read that correctly.
