March Madness 2016: Top 5 moments of the NCAA Tournament First Round

After a wild couple of days, which five moments were the best in the NCAA Tournament thus far?

The first round of the NCAA Tournament is in the books and we have already seen our fair share of excitement. There have been many exciting moments in the 32 games that have taken place in the round of 64, and we are sure to experience of ton more heart-wrenching, bracket-busting action before it’s all over.

If you can say that you still have a perfect bracket after one round of play in this year’s NCAA Tournament, you’re probably lying. An upset like No. 12 Yale over No. 5 Baylor started off the madness and made way for No. 12 Little Rock to beat No. 5 Purdue and No. 11s Wichita State and Gonzaga to top No. 6s Arizona and Seton Hall.

This is the best time of year for college basketball fans and sports fans around the nation have filled out brackets as well. Following college basketball isn’t pertinent to enjoying March Madness.

Where else can you see a No. 15 seed like Middle Tennessee ruining basically everyone’s bracket with a huge nine-point upset against No. 2 Michigan State? An upset like that won’t just happen in college football, you won’t see many No. 7 vs. No. 2 upsets in the NBA playoffs and you won’t see many wild card teams win the Super Bowl.

March Madness is a time when anything can happen. This year is further proof why the tournament is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, sporting events out there. There’s a reason why it’s been called the best three weeks in sports.

Let’s take a look at the top five moments from the first round of action.
