An inauspicious beginning to the tournament as the NCAA has given credentials to the Des Moines regional to former local sports talk show host and convicted felon Marty Tirrell. Here's why Tirrell went to prison.

In any event, I like WV and Utah State early. Always a great day!
Here's todays schedule and where to find it on TV. It all starts at noon with Maryland vs West Virginia.

I sure don't care even a little about that. I'm here to watch games and see how my bracket does

Maryland and WVU has been highly entertaining.
Furman has come roaring back to take 3 point lead with about 4 to go.
Mizzou leads Utah State by 4 at the half.
Maryland and WVU down to the wire. Md up 4 with a minute to play.
Howard onlydown two to Kansas with 7 to go in the first half.

Maryland pulled it out. There went one of my upset picks.
Furman up 1 with 2 seconds left.
March Madness is in full bloom.

Furman
Man
Picked the wrong 4-13 upset. Ah well, my bracket's blown now. (It was blown long before the first game tipped off, TBH.)

Furman wins! I did pick them. At least I will have one upset pick right.

Furman! Love the mid-majors. Furman has had a really solid team under Richey for a few years now but could never break through their conference tourney. Glad to see them get to celebrate.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
The MWC teams always seem appealing to me when filling out my bracket, and then they almost always stink. I figured Alford's bunch for a group of posers that didn't belong in the Tournament. But I expected better of Utah State. Guess I might be regretting my decisions to pick SD State and Boise as well!
