The Madness is now going on in college basketball but for many so far they are disappointed with the quality of the games. Of course it is still exciting and we are all glued to the TV to view every game but there has been no nail-biting buzzer beater to reward fans of NCAA basketball for the diligent dedication. Of course there has been good games to watch on both nights of first round action but no unexpected upsets have come about really worth note.

On Thursday night heavily favorite Memphis came from eleven points down to take the victory from Cal State-Northridge. Riding a career performance from Roburt Sallie and fighting a crowd that was obviously hoping for a Cinderella story in Kansas City the Tigers kept their dance going to earn the right to meet Maryland in the next round.

In another highly anticipated game VCU missed their final shot for a chance to upset UCLA. The 15 foot jump-shot from Eric Maynor would just not go in and the Rams missed their chance to play spoiler to a higher ranked team as they did two years ago with Duke.

In North Carolina, though the game was nowhere near being close as the Tarheels beat Radford, there was a notable event. North Carolina star forward Tyler Hansbrough passed J.J. Redick of Duke as the honor of being the ACC career scoring leader. This is a major accomplishment in a conference that has produced some of the biggest stars in college basketball and the NBA including legendary Michael Jordan. Players like Hansbrough are why no matter where you are in the United States you are bound to see some North Carolina Tarheels merchandise such as hats and window films even when the local team is one of the best in the country as well.
