Plenty of blowouts so far, but also some really competitive games ... and three upsets.
It was nice to see Oregon (#11 seed) knock off South Carolina (#6), but we don't consider that much of an upset. Oregon went on a hot streak in the Pac-12 tournament and we figured they might keep that up.
Another #11 (Duquesne) also knock off #6 BYU in a much closer game. An upset, but BYU has been like that all year, it seems ... trounce a pretty good opponent, then struggle in a game they should have no trouble with.
But the banner so far is Oakland (#14) putting "mighty" Kentucky (#3) out. Calipara's recruitment of likely NBA early-out players wins a lot of games, but they do not necessarily come through as a team at crunch time.
