Afternoon tips

• #6 PENN STATE 75, #11 Texas Tech 57
• #2 Florida State 60, #15 North Dakota State 59
• #9 INDIANA 71, #8 USC 70 (OT)
• #4 Oregon 95, #13 New Mexico State 86 (2OT)

Proof that doesn't really take an upset for there to be Madness.  Only bad game was the one that was probably the best game on paper.

Florida State hit a offensive rebound putback with 19 second left to take the lead, and the Bison missed a potential game winner.  From about 10 minutes on the entire game was played within a spread of NDSU +1 to FSU +3.

Hoosiers scored had a 5-0 run in the final 16 seconds to force OT, after USC missed two front ends of 1 and 1s.  Then Rob Finessey hit the go ahead three with 23 seconds left in OT.  USC missed a potential game winner at the buzzer.

Oregon came back from down 12 points in the second half to force overtime, but the Aggies erased a 6 point deficit in the first overtime.  They were clearly spent after that, getting outscored 12-3 in the second OT, and that one three pointer didn't come until the Ducks had scored the first 10 points to go up 93-83.

Evening results

• #10 Florida 71, #7 MICHIGAN 62
• #4 Louisville 78, #13 Vermont 65
• #10 Utah State 63, #7 ILLINOIS 51
• #8 Colorado 70, #9 Oklahoma 61

Florida and UM was back and forth.  Simpson was 0-7 from three.  Franz Wagner had a career high.  Florida pushed it from 3 to 9 late at the line.  None of the other games were noteworthy

Late tips

• #2 Villanova 75, #15 Northern Kentucky 56
• #5 BYU 85, #12 Stephen F. Austin 62
• #2 Creighton 59, #15 UC Irvine 50
• #1 Gonzaga 80, #16 Prairie View A&M 40

Boring set to finish the night.  Even UC Irvine never REALLY threatened Creighton.  All chalk on Day 1, save for a 9 over 8 and two 10 over 7s.

Afternoon tips

• #11 Texas 77, #6 IOWA 73
• #11 East Tennessee State 78, #6 Virginia 44
• #4 MARYLAND 70, #13 Yale 60
• #5 Auburn 73, #12 Cincinnati 50

Iowa stormed out to a 24-6 lead, then went ice cold, and Texas actually led at the half 34-32.  Texas then pushed the lead out to 12, before Iowa came back.  A potential game tying shot missed with 7 seconds left, and Texas made both FTs.

ETSU just dominated Virginia from start to finish.  I went from being happy MSU did't have to play the Hoos, to terrified they have to face this Bucs team that was #26 in the final AP poll, and was sure to be a Cinderella pick if their had been a tourney.

Sort of like the Texas-Iowa game, except once Maryland went from down in a hurry to up, Yale never threatened.  Terps fell behind by 12 by the under 12.  But like Texas took the lead before halftime, and at no point in the final 10 minutes was the game closer than 8.

Evening scores

• #6 West Virginia 71, #11 UCLA 61
• #8 LSU 75, #9 Arizona State 62
• #1 Kansas 79, #16 Robert Morris 59
• #2 San Diego State 86, #15 Eastern Washington 65

Late night tips

• #14 Hofstra 67, #3 Duke 64
• #1 Dayton 75, #16 Winthrop 55
• #9 Houston 73, #8 Saint Mary's 64
• #7 Arizona 81, #10 Marquette 63

I was putting the kids to bed, so I can't even tell you how Duke went down.

Winthrop jumped on Dayton 12-2, and it was still 33-33 at the half, but Dayton ran away in the second half, outscoring them 42-22.

Noon tip

• #3 Seton Hall 70, #6 PENN STATE 52

Game was at no point close.  Seton Hall was up 15 at the half, Penn State scored the first 4 points of the second half, and that was as close as it ever got.  Pirates were up 63-35 before emptying their bench.
