Good morning, Buckeye fans! The 2012 NCAA Tournament kicked off last night and I couldn’t be more excited for the next three weeks! In the first game in Dayton, Western Kentucky stormed back from a double-digit deficit with five minutes remaining to defeat Mississippi Valley State 59-58.
The Hilltoppers’ reward? They get to play No. 1 overall seed, Kentucky. Good luck.
In the second game, BYU defeated Iona 78-72 as Iona collapsed after running out to 55 points in the first 16 minutes and will face Marquette in their next game.
