What a great way to start Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday will have a tough expectations to hold up thanks to Friday&#8217;s games.  From what I heard, Friday was the first time that 14 of the 16 seeds had at least one winner in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had upsets by #9 Wisconsin, #10 Rutgers, #11 Syracuse, #12 Oregon State, #13 North Texas and #15 Oral Roberts!!!!  That&#8217;s right &#8211; only 10 of the 16 favorites won their games on Friday &#8211; and if you remove the top 3 seeds, the favorites were successful at a true coin flip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had 3 games go to overtime!  We had other double digit seeds like Winthrop, Liberty, Cleveland State and Morehead State all keep the games close for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your team is an underdog &#8211; keep the faith!!!!  It appears anything can happen.   If your team is a favorite &#8211; fear everyone!!!!!  Everything looks like it will be a battle!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But should we expect anything less &#8211; we are playing for a national championship!!!!  So, the expectations for today are high!  And yet, whatever happens &#8211; we can probably count on one thing.  March Madness will be AWESOME!!!!!!  Enjoy the games!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado and Georgetown are about to tip-off in a classic 5\/12 seed game. What a great way to start Saturday.
