Tuesday was the first day of March, and five top-25 college basketball teams lost – three of those losses in upset fashion. Coincidence? Or just March?
The madness on Tuesday was the continuation of a weekend that saw many of the top teams in the country, and some of the betting favorites to cut down the nets in a few weeks, suffer losses. Some conference tournaments are already taking place around the sport as Selection Sunday fast approaches. Meanwhile, the Power 6 conferences are still sorting things out before their brackets begin next week.
Speaking of brackets…
Welcome to March
