In the Midst of March Madness
BLACKWELL: Another big March Madness upset, as if we have not had enough already.</s>BLACKWELL: Breaking hearts, busting brackets. And also prevented NCAA tournament history. Go to Coy Wire now. He's with us with more. What happened here?</s>COY WIRE, CNN SPORTS: Oh, a lot of good stuff. I mean actually since the NCAA tournament expanded the 64 teams 30 years ago, there's never been a day where all 16 higher ranked teams won. Yesterday it came close, though. There were 15 games played with the higher rank seed won and that sighed a record set in 2000. Then, on the last game of the day, the one and only upset. And it was a good one. Number 11 day only had six players on scholarship, not one taller than six foot six, but they played huge against six seed Providence. The players played with heart, hustle and muscle and even got under the skin of Providence coach Ed Coolly. Check that out. Coolly lost his cool. He tossed that chair during a time-out and that earns him a technical. So, coach, be careful. You are going to get another one there, big man. So, but listen. Dayton pulled away from Providence, 66 to 53 and advance to the round of 32. Now other than that upset it was a pretty tame day yesterday. But Thursday we had close calls. We actually witnessed a new NCAA tournament record, five one point games in one day. There were bracket busters to upsets. The one that everyone is talking about is Georgia State. Head coach Ron Hunter led the squad from a chair. He torn his Achilles tendon while celebrating the team's birth the week before. He celebrated this too. Splash. His son R. jay hit the game winning three-pointer.</s>PAUL: And there he goes.</s>WIRE: Knocks him out of the chair.</s>WIRE: As they upset - you know, he ended up breaking his cast. So now he has to see the doctor again. Start all over, but he said you know what? I would not change any of it for a second.</s>RON HUNTER, GEORGIA STATE HEAD COACH: This has been an interesting, interesting week. We're winning, I am getting banged up, I'm getting cut on. I'm getting everything. The players are absolutely just killing me with all this right now. I am rolling around in not even in a wheelchair, in a scooter that's half broken. It's just been an interesting week, but I won't trade it for the world.</s>WIRE: Awesome. Love that guy. Now, there's a lot going on today. Kentucky is going to play and try to continue their undefeated run. But I'm sure we will see some more upset before all said and done as well.</s>BLACKWELL: Yeah, we'll take a look at where we are in our CNN ...</s>PAUL: Let's not.</s>BLACKWELL: Yeah, let's do it.</s>WIRE: Let's do it.</s>PAUL: You say that because you're one ahead of me so I hear. One.</s>BLACKWELL: Yeah. I will probably be behind next week.</s>BLACKWELL: So, let's do it now. Thank you, Coy.</s>WIRE: You are welcome.</s>PAUL: Coy, thank you so much.</s>WIRE: You are welcome.</s>PAUL: We have gotten so much news to tell you about this morning, too.</s>BLACKWELL: Next hour of your "New Day" starts right now.</s>PAUL: Police shoot a man who stormed through security at the New Orleans airport.
