The opening round of the 2010 NCAA Basketball tournament got off to an unexpected start as the ODU Monarchs upset Notre Dame. Other big upsets were Murray State over Vandy, Saint Mary’s over Richmond, Northern Iowa over UNLV, Washington over Marquette, and Ohio over Georgetown. Even Kansas got off to a slow start against Lehigh in the opening round of the Tourney. One team that did not disappoint today, was Kentucky who was led by Eric Bledsoe’s career high of 29 points and John Walls 17 points and 11 assists in their thumping of ETSU. At the time of this writing, Texas and Wake were in OT and New Mexico/Montana were still underway.
