NCAA Tournament: Big Ten off to a fast start in round 1

The Big Ten led the way with eight teams invited to this year’s NCAA Tournament and so far conference teams have made the committee look good for including that many. All five Big Ten teams that played yesterday pulled out victories.

Not all were easy wins though. Especially the one by the highest seeded team in the conference.

The Bradley Braves gave the Michigan State Spartans all they could handle leading 35-34 at halftime and only trailing 56-55 with a little over four minutes to play. Finally Michigan State got on a bit of a roll and pulled out a 76-65 victory.
