Last night, the first four kicked off the NCAA tournament in a fun fashion with a set of four games that were a lot of fun. We’re used to seeing the First Four in Dayton a couple days before the tournament starts, but the staggered game starts was a terrific addition and helped lead to the build up of the big full first day of the tournament starting today.
This is my favorite time of year. There are 16 games today, 16 tomorrow, 8 on Sunday and another 8 on Monday. Wall to wall basketball. As Missouri fans, this is only the second time in the last 8 years when we’ve had our team in contention.
