Most of the brackets in America are now rubbish. The first day of the NCAA tournament produced 5 double-digit seeds taking down the bigger school. Murray St., Old Dominion, St. Mary's, Washington took down higher seeds but the biggest upset came when Ohio University took down Georgetown. The Hoyas were a team this year that played great against the top teams but also played down to the lower teams. But this is more about the Bobcats. A little back story on them is that they finished 7-9 in their conference tournament and had to win four games in four days in order to qualify for the NCAA tourney. Georgetown ran into a buzz saw as the Bobcats were raining three's from all over the court. This is why March is so special. March always gives us a great story. For a weekends in March, the nation finds a little school to root for. None of us may have gone to Ohio but all of us have been in that position a time or two in our lives. We are on the big stage faced with a tall task. No one believes in us but we have the opportunity to prove our naysayers wrong. March makes believers out of all of us.
Its only day one and I am waxing poetic. I hope day two is just as exciting.
