The Tournament Begins!

Tomorrow is a great day-- wall-to-wall college basketball as the first long weekend of the NCAA tournament kicks off. It's these early days when upsets happen, overdogs stick it to the little guy, thrillers go into overtime, and no one can always predict which games will be which.

Here are some of the games I am most looking forwards to in the first round:

-- Nevada (a 7 seed) vs. Florida (10) This is one of several upside-down games this year, where a traditional power is seeded below a mid-major. Nevada was ranked most of the year, while Florida had to pull off some wins at the end of the season to get to a 10th seed.

-- Wofford (7) vs. Seton Hall (10) Another upside-down match, and this one features a Wofford team that seems to have something going (that something being shooting well). 

-- Tennessee (2) vs. Colgate (15) I'm told that Colgate made the transition to four-year school from being a 2-year dental training institute only in 2014. It's remarkable they have gotten to this level so fast! Tennessee was ranked #1 early in the year. We can all only hope that no one gets hurt.

-- LSU (3) vs. Yale (14)  LSU has beaten some great teams this year, and Yale is, well, not a basketball powerhouse. Nonetheless, the Ivy champ has won in the first round 4 of the last 10 years, and Yale does have an NBA prospect on the roster this year.

What are you looking forwards to?
