NCAA Tournament Update: Buzzer Beaters Abound on "First" Day of March Madness

Just half of today's games are completed and already we've seen four buzzer beaters and two upsets.

The first game winner came when No. 8 Butler's Matt Howard scored on a put back to give last year's Cinderella a 60-58 win over No. 9 Old Dominion.

Louisville was the first giant to fall. Morehead State's Demonte Harper hit a three with less than seven seconds left to give the 13th seeded Eagles a 62-61 victory against the No. 4 Cardinals.

Brandon Knight saved the Bluegrass State from a total meltdown, hitting a game winner, his only field goal of the game, against No. 13 Princeton, giving No. 4 Kentucky the 59-57 win.

Penn State's Talor Battle hit a deep three to tie the score against No. 7 Temple, but the Owls' Juan Fernandez hit a leaner at the buzzer, sealing the 66-64 win over the 10th seeded Nittany Lions.

Richmond pulled off the classic 12 over 5 upset, beating Vanderbilt 69-66 thanks to a late floater by Kevin Anderson.

The Big East saw two of its teams advance. No. 5 West Virginia beat No. 12 Clemson 84-76, and the top seeded Pitt Panthers handled No. 16 UNC-Ashville, 74-51.

Elsewhere in the Big East, No. 3 Connecticut is already underway against No. 14 Bucknell. Later tonight No. 6 St. John's will play No. 11 Gonzaga and No. 6 Cincinnati will take on No. 11 Missouri.
