The action wasn't always riveting but day one is in the books. For those of you who couldn't stay up for the nightcap, Harvard beat New Mexico 68-62, pulling away when the Lobos failed to ever really make a run. In other notable results, Missouri finished their up and down season by getting throttled on the boards by Colorado St, VCU beat Akron by 46, and Marquette scored 11 points in the final minute to overcome Davidson.
Over at the Banners bracket challenge, Your Brother Dwayne (Bryan) and Josh's Amazing Bracket (Josh), lead with 14 out of 16 games correct. Eight people sit tied in a logjam for second. Joel and I really want everyone else to enjoy themselves, so we've handicapped ourselves by having an awful first day. Full standings here.
