We have a great first day of March Madness action, but which games are you most excited to watch today? For myself, it’s gotta be Louisville/Creighton. The 8/9 matchups are always tight, and Louisville is a slim 2.5-point favorite per the oddsmakers. We very well could get a barnburner to start this year’s tournament, so I am excited to see the tournament start with an evenly-matched game.
Now it’s your turn. Let us know down in the comments which game you are most excited for, and feel free to comment along with us all day long!
