What an absolutely amazing opening weekend. There were a record number of upsets. A 15 beat a 2. There were overtime games, huge shots, blue bloods getting blown out, Alabama pouring in points as if from a fire house, and Ohio State losing. All of these things were inarguably great and largely out of the NCAAs hands. The basketball tournament remains the best thing the NCAA has and, for the most part, they don’t mess it up too much.
This season they were forced to do things differently due to the global pandemic you may have heard mentioned.
