Now, we breathe. For a few days, at least.
The first four days of the NCAA tournament somehow exceeded the expectations. Paul Jesperson's half-court, game-winning heave to beat Texas is now the second most important Northern Iowa storyline after Sunday's collapse against Texas A&M. Wisconsin's Bronson Koenig hit a pair of 3-pointers in the final 13 seconds of Wisconsin's win over Xavier. Buddy Hield scored 29 points in the second half of Oklahoma's win over VCU.
So many fireworks in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Next: the Sweet 16.
