The NCAA tournament is officially underway, and it has been a blast so far.
Brackets have been busted, beers have been crushed, and hearts have been broken. And we’re only one day in. Here are the best moments from the first day of the NCAA Tournament:
New Mexico State just missed on a popular upset pick due to a puzzling decision.
New Mexico State guard had an open layup down 2… but passed it out for 3 pt shot. Shooter was fouled but missed 2 of 3 free throws.#AuburnSurvives#MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/DK5POFgUJ0
