NCAA games Rd 1

I was 7-0 and rolling...then they played the other 9 games. There is an upside. If I don't have a near perfect day today I can start cheering for the teams I like (as I watch the games) rather than the teams I picked. Of course today I can go 1-15 and be happy if the 1 is Iowa.

I think that favors Iowa's style of play. Except, woody better be careful. We need him to be on floor to board.

I watched over 12 hours of basketball yesterday. The AZ vs. WSU game was the outlier IMO. Either those refs were the stars of the day or they will be done after this weekend. I'm not commenting related to the final outcome...never seen a Miller coached team play so bad. The hand checking and grabbing was allowed in that game more so than any other IMO.

Zona went from Elite 8 or Final 4 last year to a first round upset. The legacy of Lute Olsen still haunts the wildcats as he was known for quick exits as zona coach.

However, Lute did take Arizona to the Final Four four times winning it once. Sure Davis didn't lose a first round game, but his record after the first round was awful.

Nova and Ashville on now. Another venue that seems not well attended.

tons of empty seats! My gosh.

Villanova looks very athletic.

I hope Villanova is getting this good basketball out of their system today!!! Their post player could be a handful... fade away base line jumpers from a big is tough to stop. Of course, that only matters if we can win today.

So far 9,10,11,12 seeds are a combined 8-1. VCU looking to make it 9-1.

Iowa needs to put one in that L column. Not much will surprise me this year...so much parity. A lot of those winners could win again.

WOW Michigan state getting ROLLED early on 15-2.
