That was a fun weekend for destroying brackets. Every single seed number other than 16 won a game in the tournament, proving that on some level the bracket seedings were very off. COVID also struck the tournament, with VCU having to bow out due to positive testing. Hopefully every member of the team has recovered and is fully healthy.
For those of us who find the first weekend of the tournament (and National Corn Dog Day) to be a ready escape from the monotony of existence, there was much to remember. The most fun game to watch was Oral Roberts defeating an undermanned Florida squad 81-78, though provincially the most fun game to watch was Baylor’s throttling of Wisconsin.
