Matt Roush says...

Enjoy your brackets before they get busted—a nearly annual tradition as the first round of 64 pits Cinderella teams against top-seeded favorites, with the possibility of shocking upsets. Play starts early and goes into the evening, with a key prime-time matchup pairing No. 2 Tennessee against No. 15 Saint Peter’s (9:20 pm/ET, CBS).
