What an opening weekend.

I am sure that there have been opening weekends that have been as good or close to as a good, but I can’t imagine another NCAA Tournament opening weekend being better than what we just saw.

There were buzzer beaters, huge upsets, Cinderellas that lasted to the second weekend, tremendous individual performances, and just a lot of really, really good basketball. This weekend proved, once again, why the NCAA Tournament is the most exciting event in sports.

Now it is time for the second weekend, the Sweet 16 and then the Elite 8, and we have all of the TV schedule, announcer, and spread info you need.

First, let’s talk about tickets. If you are thinking about going to any of the four regional sites this weekend, here the links to StubHub that you need:

Throughout this week I will be posting previews and prediction for each game (or as many as I’m able to get to). I’ll update this post with links once those posts are done.

    I think we are over do for a last second finish in a Gus Johnson announced game. Go Butler!

    We can only hope. If Gus doesn't get one this weekend, CBS should allow him to call every game until he gets a tight finish, even Jim Nantz has to be booted from the National Championship game.
