NCAA Tournament 2013: From A-10 To The Zags, Everything You Need To Know About The Round Of 64
By The Huffington Post News Editors
Between the First Four and the two first full days of wall-to-wall NCAA Tournament action, 36 games have been played. Thirty-six teams have been sent home. Thirty-two teams have advanced. Although no game has been won on a buzzer beater (although Vander Blue came closest), several were won by teams that no one expected to succeed. From A-Z, here is a rundown of everything you need to know about the madness of March (so far):
Atlantic 10: President Obama believed that the Big Ten was the strongest conference during the year. The selection committee granted the most bids to the Big East. Once the ball was thrown up, however, it was the A-10 that stole the show. Highlighted by No. 13 La Salle‘s upset win over No. 4 Kansas State (coming after a First Four win), the Atlantic 10 has gone 6-0. VCU and Saint Louis dominated. Temple and Butler are moving on. As Mike Lopresti of USA Today Sports calculated, the round of 32 will be 15.6% A-10 teams.
Bracket: Through April 8th, everything will be a bracket. Food is a bracket. Curse words are a bracket. Hate is a bracket. Most importantly, the NCAA Tournament is a bracket. Did you fill yours out? Did you have Harvard and Florida Gulf Coast advancing? Do you need to print a new one after early upsets forced you to shred it. If so, then click here.
