The NCAA Tournament is technically underway, but today is the day where we move full-speed ahead.
With Kentucky playing tomorrow, we get today to just sit back and enjoy all the fun and if you’re like me, probably watch your bracket go up in flames.
Ohio State and TCU get things underway to start the day in an intriguing 8-9 matchup, with several upset contenders in the early window as well.
Troy over Nebraska is one of my sneaky upset picks, and you also have Louisville taking on South Florida and Wisconsin
taking on High Point in a 5-12 matchup.
For those interested, John Calipari’s Arkansas squad will take on Hawaii this afternoon and if you’re looking for a game that has the potential to be the highest-scoring game of the tournament, Georgia vs St. Louis tonight should be a fun one with plenty of points scored.
The first day of the Round of 64 is one of my favorite days of the year, so let the fun begin! Which games are you looking forward to most today?
