March Madness is upon us.
On Day 1 of the 2015 NCAA Tournament today, we enjoyed probably the best opening day of action since, like, last year or something. There were buzzer-beaters, upsets, high-flying dunks, ballsy three-pointers, dumb decisions, officiating controversies, coaches falling out of chairs and more. It had everything a college hoops fan could want.
