After an appropriately crazy opening day to the NCAA Division I Men's Tournament, we close out the first (or second, if you want to be Mister Teacher's Pet) round today with a slate highlighted by our own Wildcats taking on Kentucky in the late game on CBS. The remainder of the schedule is actually light, with only thirteen other games involving NCAA members, and that includes the two pairs of Division III semifinals. (Not listed here until we get down to the semifinals: NAIA Division I.) This will serve as your open thread up until we gear up for K-State basketball; with that, on we go to the schedule:
