And yes, it's First Round, not Second Round 2 to me. I don't care what they officially call it.
Teams That Made the Most Noise
-North Carolina and Florida. All the No. 2 seeds played well, but these two teams made their presence felt. The Tar Heels racked up 102 points on big efforts from Tyler Zeller (32), John Henson (28) and Harrison Barnes (24). Meanwhile, Florida put on a show, revealing the most balanced offense in the tournament.
The Biggest Surprise So Far
-The early exits of a pair of Big East teams, Louisville and Georgetown. The Cardinals did lose their best player, but the Hoyas looked like they didn't even belong in the Big Dance.
The Most Exciting Finish
-That has to go to Morehead State's win over in-state rival Louisville. I tip my hat to Temple and its clutch shot, but that wasn't an upset. Plus, Morehead State's coach had a dream about what happened late in their upset, and it turned out exactly like he planned: Demonte Harper drilling a game-winning 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left.
I also talk about UFC 128, which is tonight. The main event is Jon Jones vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, for Rua's Light Heavyweight belt. Reshad Evans will be next in line for a shot in the division. Also, former WEC Featherweight Champ Urijah Faber will make his highly-anticipated UFC debut against Eddie Wineland. Expect a slugfest there. And Mirko Krokop faces Brendan Schaub.
I top it off with some NBA, Tennis and more.
