The March Madness action kicked into full swing on Thursday with 2019 NCAA Tournament  first-round action. There were some intriguing outcomes within the first full slate of games, though not much of the madness that we expect. Thankfully, the first-round continues on Friday as 16 more games are on deck. 

Most of the spreads and lines are pretty tight as games get set for tip off, with three 8 vs. 9 matchups and more possible Cinderellas starting their tournament on Friday.
