We're wrapping up the first round of the NCAA tournament, and it has been brilliant. The sun has set on the best 36 hours of the year, and the tradition truly unlike any other has come to an end.
For starters, this was the first time 13, 14, and 15 have won on the same day. The seeds were sown last night when Cal announced they had lost their point guard to a broken hand he suffered in practice. Without him guiding the offense, they only put up .90 points per possession against Hawai'i. The Rainbow Warriors turned the Bears over 16 times, which was just enough for them to pull the 77-66 upset.
