In the first round of the men's NCAA tournament, tiny Belmont's enrollment of 4700, almost pulled off a miracle. Losing by 1 point, 70-71 to the "powerhouse" Duke. The Bruins really did themselves proud.
Personally, the first day went very well for me, as I correctly picked 15 of 16 games. The one mistake was the UNLV Runnin' Rebels win over Kent State.
I think that the Friday games will be more competitve and that a couple will most likely come down to last second shots.
Isn't that what makes this tournament so special? Like when last night's 40 foot shot at the buzzer bounced off the rim and mighty Duke survived to play another day.
I've coached in 89 of these games now," Mike Krzyzewski said of his long and storied NCAA road.
"I told the guys as far as game pressure goes, this game has to rank in the top 3 or 4. Hopefully the people at Belmont take that as a real compliment."
Congratulations to Belmont in their outstanding performance on a national stage.
