It's that time of year!! I figured there should be a main thread where we can discuss all the matchups and who we feel are going to be the token tournament upsets. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FE5MQHuL.jpg&t=665&c=okOP1dteGg6MOg)

Northeastern sure did make it interesting against Notre Dame. UAB keeping it close too but there is plenty of time left for Iowa State. Crazy finish. Notre Dame turns it over up 2 with 30 seconds left... Northeastern turns it back over without getting a shot off. Nobody on Northeastern wanted to take that last shot. Imagine how many brackets would have been destroyed if NE made a 3 to win it ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Very dramatic ending.

The bold green means they covered the spread. The advances means they won the game and will advance to the next round of the tournament.

#3 Baylor goes down to #14 Georgia State, 57 - 56. Team just not showing up or underestimating these lower ranked teams?

I was hearing a lot about potential upset from Georgia St but their top player was scratched before tipoff so seemed like easy Baylor win.
Guess not. Already 2 big upsets.

I was a little surprised Baylor only scored 56 points. Anyone actually watch that game? Bad offense by Baylor or good defense by Georgia State?
Interesting note: First four underdogs have covered the spread. Both Butler (Jones injured, out) and UCLA are on track to covering.

Dogs seem the way to go at least for this first round. Butler wins and UCLA should cover as well ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
