What Went Down In The First Round Of The NCAA Tournament

I always feel better when all four games are going at once — it feels like the real March Madness. (In other news, Baylor and Norfolk State have tipped off.)

Boise is a lovely city (we once taped a FiveThirtyEight podcast there!), and that’s why I’ll be rooting for the Boise State Broncos to either win or secure a “moral victory” by losing by no more than 3.5 points. They’re currently tied, 12-all, with Memphis.

Providence is Providence-ing. South Dakota State’s 8-0 run has the Jackrabbits back within 6.
