NCAA Tournament Day 1Note about NCAA Madness Coverage. I have decided rather then doing a constantly updated thing like I tried today. I am going to do a simple daily recap. It will be posted in similar timing to a Raptor Rewind post. Once the last game on a given day is completed. I will start to right my recap of that days action.
Day 1 Top Story Bullets
- Duke gets a close call but hangs on to defeat Belmont 71-70
- Mayo gets schooled be Beasley and K-State in Upset. USC is Done
- UCLA has no Mercy For Jerry Rice's Former school
- 1 vs 16 is still safest bet in town Kansas also moves on to continue the fact that NO #1 has EVER lost to a #16
- Big Ten Doing Well... Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin all move on to round 2
- Bulldogs Start strong but only Scare Xavier in the end
- Kentucky long run of success ends at hands of Marquette
- Aggies pull off minor upset topping BYU ...Hoffa is upset ( Raptor Fans Laugh)
- Ex Raptor Coach watches his Wildcats lose to West Virginia
- No Upset in cards for Winthrop this time...Washington State advances
- Irish moving forward as the advance
How did the Dino Blogger do on the Day? 14-2
Game of the day: Duke vs Belmont
Player of the Day: Micheal Beasley of Kansas State
What to look forward too?
Still looking for that MAJOR UPSET. K-State as an 11 seed was closest thing to a MAJOR UPSET. If Belmont beat Duke that would have been an upset for all-time.
Hope people like this format I just felt it was taking away from my personal enjoyment doing it the other way. There is also the fact of Raptor vs NCAA conflict in which Raptors take priority over NCAA obviously. Hope this is a good enough format for people to enjoy.
