Finally! The upset/buzzer-beater thriller combo that helps ignite this tournament. Hard to imagine there will be a more entertaining game or a better ending than Western Kentucky overtime win over Drake. And I enjoyed every second of it. That being said, it ain't quite the same when the upsets come at the expense of second-tier powers like Drake or Gonzaga rather than the big lumber. The real fun of this first week is rooting against every bit as much as it is rooting for. And while teams like Gonzaga and Butler have become legitimate mainstays of the tournament, we really can't work up much enmity toward them. Not like we we can toward smug Duke (though getting less smug by the second) or others among basketball's college royalty. So I won't really be satisfied this week until one of the true giants goes down.

UPDATE: And now, with UConn out, they have. That's more like it.
