Let's get this party started right. We'll have tons of open threads all day long to discuss all the fantastic action hopefully occurring today. This shall be our morning thread.
If you want to do anymore reading on the tournament or last minute bracket shuffling, check out Avinash's previews over at SB Nation Bay Area. He only did three up to this point, because he's a lazy bum who can only write 20,000 words on teams he's never watched before.
- East regional preview & picks (most extensive breakdown)
- Southwest regional picks (with links to more individual game-by-game previews)
- Southeast regional picks (with links to more individual game-by-game previews)
After the jump, check out all the morning games. Leave your thoughts in the comments. GO BEARS!
