Even the upsets — Alabama getting bounced. Same with LSU. (The SEC is not off to a good start.) Those were the games many weren’t surprised to be upsets.
There were a few gems. The Utah-UTEP had some drama. The Nevada-Texas game was pretty good. Even Winthrop-Gonzaga provided drama until the last 2 minutes. And the final game of the night, WVU-Creighton was the best of the day.
Only 2 lower seeds lost (I don’t count 9 beating an 8 an upset or really a lower seeding). The real upsets will start on Saturday. That’s when the anguished cries of brackets being ruined truly happen.
