True Madness from the start

It is only day one of the NCAA tournament but what a day!! We have seen that the Big East Conference is not necessarily the “Big Beast” of a conference that it was seen as coming in. Ohio University beat Georgetown 97-83, Old Dominion beat Notre Dame 51-50, Washington beat Marquette 80-78, and highly fancied Villanova had a scare, escaping with a 73-70 overtime win over Robert Morris.

The Southeastern Conference did not escape unscathed with Vanderbilt falling to Murray St. 66-65, Florida falling to Brigham Young 99-92 in two overtimes and Tennessee hanging on against San Diego St. 62-59.

In a minor upset St. Mary’s pulled out an 80-71 win over favoured Richmond.

As for my predictions……well, 7 right and 9 wrong, hope you are not taking my tips to the bookies!!!!

Back after day two with more!!!!
