Who is in your final 4? This has the potential to be an epic tournament
I just came here to add this after I couldn't get it to take off in the NCAA section.
I brought pics, was going to use them in a new thread, but seeing as you beat me here, by a lot, feel free to use them to update the OP with a Day 1 Recap or just link to the post.
BRIEF DAY 1 RECAP (March 16, 2023)
"March Madness has begun! On the tournament's opening day, only four out of 32 teams lost to lower-seeded foes but two of them were big: No. 2 seed Arizona and No. 4 seed Virginia both went down, busting millions of brackets."

The big story is obviously Purdue falling to a team nobody has ever heard of. They had zero answers for Furman's Fairleigh Dickinson's speed. I'm lazy, so here's the best recap I could find if you need some catching up to do.
Saturday, March 18 (Round of 32. All times Eastern)
No. 5 San Diego State 75, No. 13 Furman 52
No. 4 Tennessee vs. No. 5 Duke | 2:40 p.m. | CBS
No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 8 Arkansas | 5:15 p.m. | CBS
No. 7 Missouri vs. No. 15 Princeton | 6:10 p.m. | TNT
No. 1 Houston vs. No. 9 Auburn | 7:10 p.m. | TBS
No. 2 Texas vs. No. 10 Penn State | 7:45 p.m. | CBS
No. 2 UCLA vs. No. 7 Northwestern | 8:40 p.m. | TNT
No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 8 Maryland | 9:40 p.m. | TBS
EDIT: Purdue lost to Fairleigh Dickinson in a 1-16 matchup. Virginia lost to Furman in a 4-13 matchup the day prior. Sorry for any confusion.
