March Madness has finally begun. The field of 68 was determined by the selection committee on Sunday, and while some of its choices invited controversy, the show must go on.
The bracket was then whittled down to 64 teams after the First Four on Tuesday and Wednesday with Alabama State, North Carolina, Mount St. Mary's and Xavier advancing to the first round.
The opening day of the first round had some notable upsets, including No. 12 McNeese beating No. 5 Clemson. No. 11 Drake also took down sixth-seeded Missouri. Day 2 followed with another big upset when No. 12 Colorado State beat No. 5 Memphis. Since then, college basketball's elite have reigned over the tournament.
Only one double-digit seed advanced to the Sweet 16: Arkansas, which upset St. John's in the second round. Only four conferences — SEC, Big 12, Big Ten and ACC — make up the Sweet 16, with the first four games scheduled for Thursday.
