March Madness Open Thread for Day 1

It's Day 1 of the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, and once again BC is not in it. However, there should be plenty of interesting storylines to watch and look out for, including ones that should generate some interest from BC fans.

Right off the bat, the first game of the day at 12:15 is between two schools BC fans are very familiar with: Northeastern and Notre Dame. Go Huskies! Interestingly enough, the tournament's other Boston entrant, Harvard, also faces an ACC team, with the Crimson battling North Carolina later on tonight.
