INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Your bracket is shot. We know it. Ours is, too.
A year after the NCAA Tournament was canceled, the madness returned with an opening weekend full of upsets.
No. 1 seed Illinois, gone. So is Ohio State. High seeds Texas and Virginia also are out, replaced by upstarts and mid-major noisemakers.
And we have Sister Jean, the 101-year-old nun who serves as team chaplain for Chicago Loyola. So good to have her back.
It was a wild opening ride to be sure and the tournament is all but guaranteed to have a few more unexpected twists and turns.
