NCAA Tournament Day One Open Thread

PrintTo me, these next two days are two of the very best of the year. I love the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. I like it better than any other rounds. This is when miracles happen.
I know many of you feel the same - hence this FanPost so those who are around can discuss what happens today.
In honor of the NCAA Tournament, here are the 23 Dolphins whose colleges are in the tournament:
Tennessee - Jason Allen, Chris Brown, David Martin, Gibril Wilson
Maryland - Joey Haynos, William Kershaw, Randy Starks
BYU - John Beck, John Denney
Michigan - Chad Henne, Jake Long
Texas - Ricky Williams, Rod Wright
Arizona - Lionel Dotson
Clemson - Phillip Merling
Michigan St. - Brandon Fields
Ohio St. - Ted Ginn
Pitt - Lousaka Polite
Purdue - Akin Ayodele
Syracuse - Will Allen
UConn - Donald Thomas
Utah - Paul Soliai
Utah St. - Shawn Murphy
So which Dolphin do you think will have bragging rights when all is said and done? My money is on Lousaka Polite (aka the "Lousaka Monster") - Pitt is my pick for national champion. I also think that Shawn Murphy will have "upset bragging rights" after his Utah St. team takes out Marquette - that is, if Marquette is having an off day from the field.
I'll leave you with this - my favorite NCAA moment. Princeton (13th seed) upsetting UCLA (4th seed and defending national champs) in the first round of the 1996 tournament. You'll never see a more fundamentally sound basketball team than Pete Carril's Princeton teams. Enjoy the video and the days events!

CHANNING CROWDER
GO GATORS….so what if its the NIT, we still win championships
You gotta hate to lose more than you want to win
Go Noles!
Wisconsin is goin down tomorrow night! If you have never seen the noles play Tony Douglas is the guy to watch. We will go only as far as he can carry us.

woooo, stoked on this
i wish i could’ve taken these days off of work to veg out and catch 12 hours of ball.
i’m gna say upset of teh day is….
N Iowa over Purdue.
But if CSN could beat Memphis, it would be epic.
"check that...the 29th of Feb. this year.....why is that the record day for hits? Did Matty have the Kim Kardashian sex tape or something?"
-Treat
"yes he did. and Jersquall recut it to look like Marino was boning her."
-Treasure
also...
upset of the day is going to be Western Kentucky. They’re pretty good – especially defensively – and Illinois is a terrible offensive team.
Hey Matty
can you take the video down? For some odd reason, any thread with a video link disables all the shortcuts, and I can’t do a live thread without shortcuts lol
Or at least help me figure out why that happens.

I had BYU both times too.
I went 2/3 for these first three games. But I was kind of hoping Memphis would lose since I figure it would do more damage to other people’s brackets than mine, since I have them losing to Maryland.
