What Went Down In The First Round Of The NCAA Tournament

Getting Providence and Memphis in the first three games is a win for all of us. I have no idea which Memphis team shows today (or any day).

At some point the shots were going to fall for Michigan, but the size difference is considerable and weighing on Colorado State, the third-shortest team in the tournament, according to KenPom. Michigan goes 6-foot-8, 6–foot-11, 7-foot-1 along the front court. Colorado State has a single guy > 6-foot-8 who consistently plays. Michigan is +6 on the glass but it feels like a bigger split.

Yeah, the shooting luck really has turned around, with Colorado State just missing a shot at the rim there.
