NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2021: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 1, Afternoon

Last year ek hornbeck created a “New and Improved with Special (and a subtly different pain in the ass) Table for Results. So this is the one I’ll be using today and for future games. The winners  will be bolded and the upset winners will be on the right, the lower seeds are always on the right.

There were some interesting upsets last night:

First, the #7  UConn men failed to advance over #10 Maryland. The next to go was #4 Virginia falling to #13 Ohio. Then #6 Brigham Young (BYU) was toppled by #11 UCLA, Play In winner. I think the biggest stunner of the night was the last game of the night with #3 Texas losing by one point to #14 Abilene Christian.

These are scores for the teams that played yesterday. They will advance to the next round.

He also decided to break the games into Early and Late sessions. “CBS of course wants you to plant your butt in front of the screen all day, but the truth is that the Early stuff is all CBS all the time so you could watch every single game from beginning to end if sheer volume is your goal.

I’m dividing it because of the tendency of items to slide out of consciousness off the bottom, especially on busy days (Did something happen? I wasn’t paying attention. March Madness!). Thus the Prime Time games will be posted closer to Prime Time.”
