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.

Now onto the Bits!
Fab Melo ruled ineligible. The path to New Orleans possibly just got a little easier for Ohio State. Syracuse’s star center and Big East Defensive Player of the Year, Fab Melo, was ruled out for the entire NCAA Tournament yesterday.
This is a big blow for the Orange. Melo missed three games earlier this season with academic issues and it seems this is along the same lines. In the games he was out, Syracuse was 2-1, but was outrebounded by nearly 10 per game, when they were about even in the games he played in.
