NCAA First day recap

Most impressive: Louisville and Vandy. Louisville completely demolished Stanford from the word go and let up to only win by 20. Vanderbilt wasn't even that kind to George Washington as they beat them by 33. Clearly these two teams are better than I even thought. Both are perfectly capable of winning more games if they keep that performance up.

Biggest Surprise: One of the biggest surprises was that not much happened. Most of the games weren't close and other than Duke and a couple 8/9 games there weren't any upsets.

Biggest Disappointment: Clearly Duke. I guess I overrated them. Even with their struggles this year I thought they'd be able to pull out a couple of wins in the tourney. I was wrong.

Moral Victory: Stephen Curry of Davidson with 30 in a loss to Maryland. Eastern Kentucky cutting it to four points from a 27 point deficit before losing to UNC. Pennsylvania giving Texas A&M a tough out for a little while in the second half.
