    Something's happened. Second year in a row that we've lacked any good upsets. A few good games, but nothing shocking. The theme seems to be, mid-major hangs around for 30 minutes, then the major pulls away. Not very much fun lol

          I think people are just a bit blinded by the insane year that happened a few years back. That year was just crazy.

              Plus, it's the upsets that happen in the round of 32 or 16 that make it fun even more than first round ones I think. Those are the true "bracket busters."

                How good is good?

                Because last year, two 4/13s happened. A 15 almost beat a 2.

                I mean, surely you don't expect a George Mason every year, where some mid major team makes it to the Final Four.

                  Yeah, but KSU isn't exactly a household name.

                  There's not exactly many of those types of players out there anyway -- not to mention Texas and KSU fell and Memphis was good because the whole team was good.

                    That happens every year though. There's usually only 1 or 2 big upsets in the 1st round each year.

                      Okay, let's see 4 upsets in the last 4 games!

                      Okay, probably not ... but I have VCU over UCLA and many people have WKU over Illinois (I don't). It'd be amazing if Binghamton or Morgan State could keep their games close to end the night.

                            Wow. These games are intense for me... I'm still perfect on my brackets, my bracket is on Facebook. I'm in the "operation sports" group. Look up the name "Jared Miller". I'm know i'm going to lose a game eventually, its just crazy to me...

                              There are two good potential upsets to end the night too, so it's not like it's over yet.

                              Plus, I think most would agree that tomorrow is the day where things could get pretty crazy -- or at least there is a better potential for it to happen.
