March Madness has finally begun. The field of 68 was determined by the selection committee on Sunday, and while some of its choices invited controversy, the show must go on.
The bracket was then whittled down to 64 teams after the First Four on Tuesday and Wednesday with Alabama State, North Carolina, Mount St. Mary’s and Xavier advancing to the first round.
The opening day of the first round was packed with upsets, including No. 12 McNeese beating No. 5 Clemson. No. 11 Drake also took down sixth-seeded Missouri. Day 2 followed with another big upset when No. 12 Colorado State beat No. 5 Memphis.

After a bruising series vs. Orlando, Boston emerges sharper and with time to heal
BOSTON — Prior to an elimination game in their first-round series against the Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla did not want to hear about whatever rest a win would afford his ailing team."Well, we've got to win Game 5," he said.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat they did, dominating Orlando in the second half of a 120-89 victory and winning the series, 4-1.Meanwhile, next round's opponent remains undecided, as the Detroit Pistons defeated the New York Knicks, extending their series to a sixth game on Thursday. Tuesday's outcomes afforded the Celtics at least a few days rest, and that is significant, considering the bruises they collected against the Magic."It's good and bad," Mazzulla, ever the contrarian, said afterward of the additional rest. "We'll exit the arena for a couple days. That could be good. But I think as we start to get […]
Boston postoupil do čtvrtfinále a dál sní o obhajobě, opět kraloval Tatum
Milwaukee vypadlo třikrát za sebou v prvním kole, z toho podruhé za sebou s Indianou. V úterý vedlo 40 sekund před koncem prodloužení 118:111, jenže pak trefil Andrew Nembhard trojku a Tyrese Haliburton dal koš s faulem a proměnil trestný hod. Pak se prosadil i v nájezdu přes Janise Adetokunba 1,1 sekundy před koncem, čímž rozhodl.Milwaukee už nemělo oddechový čas a zoufalý pokus Garyho Trenta Jr. neměl naději na úspěch. „Tahle výhra se do historie klubu zapíše jako jedna z nejlepších. Tyrese si zaslouží gratulace, koncovku z velké části režíroval,“ řekl trenér Rick Carlisl. Haliburton přispěl k vítězství 26 body a devíti asistencemi.Myles Turner zaznamenal 21 bodů, Aaron Nesmith přidal 19 bodů a 12 doskoku. Na druhé straně nastřílel Trent 33 bodů. Adetokunbo, který zaznamenal 30 bodů, 20 doskoků a 13 asistencí, se po utkání dostal do roztržky s Haliburtonovým otcem a některými hráči Pacers.
