Printable 2012 NCAA Bracket Updated After Thursday’s Games

You were expecting March Madness. We all were expecting plenty of wild action, buzzer beaters and everything else that defines the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, its opening day. But it never came, and only two lower-seeded teams -- Colorado and VCU -- won. The rest of the day was defined by its chalkiness.

The latest 2012 Printable NCAA Tournament Bracket is live and updated.

Other than the aforementioned teams that pulled “upsets,” it was more like March Mildness. Syracuse got a scare from UNC Asheville in what would’ve been the most shocking upset in history, but managed to survive. Kentucky rolled, Ohio State handled its business, and everything was ... well, pretty normal.


More Madness: Best And Worst Of Everything From Day 1

The good news? Another 16 games tip-off on Friday. So grab the bracket and get ready for all-day college basketball action.
