Most impressive: I'm going with a three way tie of Virginia, Tennessee, and USC. USC turned what I thought would be a tight game into a laugher. Virginia blitzed Albany from the tip. And Tennessee scored an astonishing 121 points on Long Beach State. The defense was lacking but hey a win is a win.
Biggest Upset: Probably once again that there were very few ones. Expect mass chaos in the second round. When there are more good teams, anything can happen. But I must give props to WInthrop as they got their first ever tourney win in a hard fought one against Notre Dame.
Biggest Disappointment: Notre Dame shooting about 30% from the stripe in the loss to Winthrop. ANd they were one of the 20 best in the country. Pathetic. Also Illinois blowing a 12 point lead to Virginia Tech.
Moral Victory: TAMCC dominating Wisconsin most of the game. Miami keeping up with Oregon. New Mexico State playing with Texas. Jackson State being down 6 at halftime to Florida.
First round is over. To me the three most impressive teams relative to what I thought would happen in their first game were Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Winthrop in that order. It'll be interesting to see if their outstanding play will translate into second round success.
Jeb's Tourney Record: 27-6 (including the play-in)
