March Madness has been going on for a few weeks now and the anticipation for the tournament could not have been answered any better. There was multiple upsets during the first two rounds of the tournament. This was going to be the biggest upset bracket in the history of the tournament. They did not disappoint the public. The underdogs weren't playing like underdogs in the tournament this year. The most surprising team by far has got to be Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky started their amazing run by first defeating the #5 seed Drake in the opening round in dramatic fashion in overtime. They then went on to face San Diego who upset UConn in the opening round. Western Kentucky defeated them to coast into the sweet 16. But they run into the #1 seed UCLA to try ans extend their tournament life. One other team to watch out for has got to be Davidson. Davidson looked impressive in their victories over Gonzaga and #2 seed Georgetown. Davidson came into the tournament on a 21 game winning streak and extended it to 23 games during the tournament. They now face the #3 seed Wisconsin but I wouldn't sleep on Davidson to pull this one out. The last team that deserve recognition has got to be West Virginia. West Virginia first had a tough first round game with Arizona. They dominated the game to go face the #2 seed Duke. They started off slow but the power of Alexander inside was to much for Duke to advance West Virginia into the sweet 16. This tournament has been up and down, upsets and domination. I'm just glad that there is still 15 more games to enjoy.

One of the biggest (if not the biggest) surprise in this year's tournament has to be Davidson. Davidson is led by their leading scorer, Stephen Curry, son of former NBA star Dell Curry.
Davidson is certainly a cinderella story. Did you know that Stephen Curry was actually like 5' 10'' and grew something like 5 inches after agreeing to play for Davidson...i wish other schools wish they had him now!
I think this years March Madness was a huge free-for-all! i know alot of peoples' brackets are a mess now! you did a good job highlighting all the events in NCAA, i enjoyed reading it!
I find it surprisind that all four number one seeds made it to the Final Four. It was the first time in history that this feat has ever happened.
This year has been crazy!! Davidson for sure surprised so many people. I really enjoyed reading your blog.
