NCAA Tournament Thursday

One of the greatest days in sports is here as it's day one of the NCAA Tournament. Sixteen games stretched over twelve hours from Noon to past Midnight in the East. It's just simple joy as everyone tries to avoid work and personal business to watch, check scores and keep tabs of their brackets.
