Alabama St starts the NCAA tourney off...

[CappyNU]

...with a combination of The Pass and Victory Right to beat St. Francis in Dayton!

Just like in our game against Michigan a few years back.

A little bit of a risky play in a tie game. If the inbounded overthrows everyone and the ball goes out of bounds, St. Francis would have been inbounding with 3.4 left from under their own goal/basket.

Helluva game. Man do I love March Madness!

That was a crazy end to the ballgame. Great way to start off some madness.

Not a clean reception, those guys didn't have a good QB or WR on the court and both sides are 'lucky' they didn't call a foul as everyone bounced into each other and hit the floor.

Very exciting finish.

Did I miss something or is Drake in the SEC?

Not many buzzer beaters so far, nor that many big upsets, but I have been impressed by the improved quality of the lower seeded teams.

I'm expecting there to be more fireworks this weekend given the lack of upsets and the quality of remaining teams.

Today’s games much better than yesterday’s games. Still ho-hum compared to other years IMO.
