NCAA Tournament: Round 1 review

Wow…Let’s look at what we know after today.

• Duke’s chances of winning the tournament are decreased quite a bit. Each of the last ten national champions have won their first round game by double-digits. Champions don’t struggle in the opening round, which means Tennessee and Xavier probably won’t win either.
• Connecticut and Vanderbilt definitely will not be winning the tournament.  (For the record, I said San Diego would be the team most likely to get a big upset.)
• 1-seeds are better than 16-seeds.
• A 12-seed beats a 5-seed in the first round every year. (The first round last year never happened.)
• Brackets are pretty tough to pick accurately.
• Stephen Curry is pretty good.
• The next round should be great!
