March Madness officially begins on Thursday!  No, this will not be a post filled with who should have gotten in, who shouldn’t have gotten in, comparing RPIs, etc. etc.  No, this is about highlighting first round games to watch. 

USC vs K-State OJ Mayo vs. Michael Beasley.  Righty vs. Lefty.  Quicksilver vs. blunt force object.  Why else watch this game?  Two top-10 NBA draft picks go head up in Omaha, Nebraska.  The only excitement that Omaha gets around this time of year is the start of spring ball for the Cornhuskers, so this game will be a pretty big deal.  Effectively this is a home game for the Manhattan, Kansas-based Wildcats.  Expect the camera to show Pat Riley and some Knicks officials more than a few times during this game.  Pat, if you’re smart, take Beasley!   

That’s the only must-see game, but of course keep an eye on all the 8 vs 9, 5 vs 12, and 7 vs 10.  That’s where an upset is most likely to occur. 

Since Stank-0 lives in the not-so Chocolate City District, he will try to finagle some tickets to boo at watch Arizona and Duke play.
