I was scrolling through the NCAA Men's Basketball brackets on my web page and I just about had to use two hands to count the upsets. This is only the first day of round one and top ranked teams are getting one way plane tickets back to the crib. The teams that have been upset are #8 UNLV by #9 seed UNI. The final score was 69-66. Our next upset is #13 seed Murray St. defeating #4 seed Vanderbilt, by a slight 66-65 close ballgame. Number 11 seed Old Dominion also won a close game. They defeating a #6 seed, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame 51-50. Another heart breaker was #7 Richmond's loss to #10 seed St. Mary's(CA), 81-80. Oh no?! Not the #3 seed Georgetown Hoyas. Yes, it's true, they loss to a #14 seed Ohio, not Ohio State. The score to this game was 97-83. The madness has already began. It's been a dream day for the low seeds and a nightmare for the top.
