The opening day of the first round of the NCAA tournament shocked the Big East — three teams lost and another won in overtime, thrilled double-digit seeds — three of them won and wore out fans with three games going overtime, including BYU's 99-92 double-overtime win against Florida.
Second-seeded Villanova, which beat Robert Morris 73-70 in overtime, was the only team from the Big East, which tied its own record with eight teams in the field, to win as Georgetown, Marquette and Notre Dame all lost.
No. 14 Ohio beat Georgetown 97-83 to lead the double-digit seeds while No. 13 Murray State defeated Vanderbilt 66-65 and No. 11 Old Dominion downed Notre Dame 51-50.
The other game to go overtime was Wake Forest's 81-80 win over Texas. Last year, the entire tournament produced a total of two overtime games.
