In on the court action, the big news was this;
"Oral Roberts shocks Ohio State, becomes only ninth No. 15 seed to upset No. 2 seed in NCAA Tournament. Oral Roberts won its first NCAA Tournament game in 47 years by dramatically upsetting Ohio State"
And my favorite game of Day One was seeing Duke's arch rival, the North Carolina Tar Heels getting whopped in first round action by Wisconsin, 85-62. Wisconsin was lead by Brad Davison with 29 points including 5-7 3-point shots.
Some of the most interesting NCAA tourney pairings involve a big state university against a smaller in state school that the big university would never schedule in the regular season. So far the tourney has had two of those pairings in which the smaller in state school actually pulled off the upset and won: Abeline Christian over Texas and Loyola of Chicago over Illinois by a decisive score of 81-58. The latter upset had the PR angle of Loyola's chaplain, 101 year old Sister Jean in attendance in her wheelchair. Also, I didn't catch his name, but Loyola has this strikingly handsome little guard who played great down the stretch. His teammates were patting his butt for his great play. I would have patted his butt for just looking so hot!
