March Madness has lived up to its name so far this year as the NCAA Tournament is already producing some all-time games.
First, we had the wildness in Dayton and Miami (OH). Then we have High Point knocking off the 5-seeded Wisconsin Badgers. We almost saw another 16-seed pull off the unthinkable before Duke held on to beat Siena.
However, the most excitement came tonight as the VCU Rams stormed back to knock off the North Carolina Tar Heels in overtime.
Once down double-digits, the writing seemed to
be on the wall as an injury-riddled Tar Heel team looked like it was going to survive.
They did not, as the Rams hit the go-ahead step-back 3 with 15 seconds remaining in overtime and would hold on for what was an all-time comeback win.
It marked the largest comeback win in the history of the first round of the NCAA Tournament after the Rams trailed by 19 before rallying for the 82-78 victory.
What a win.
Now, let’s hope our Kentucky Wildcats can fend off the upset bid on Friday from the Santa Clara Broncos. But it sure is sweet to see March Madness and the Tournament back on our TV’s.
