What a day!

What. A. Day.

The first day of March Madness (minus the play-in games, but you know what I mean) had a little bit of everything, and by almost every measure it was fantastic. The Dayton Daily News made quite a splash with their front page this morning, which read "The Dayton University" -- a clear shot at Ohio State, the team that the Flyers defeated. But the Daily News wasn't the only noteworthy front page that emerged from yesterday's festivities. Below I've compiled a local front page newspaper from every team that advanced in NCAA tournament on Thursday. In places with multiple papers, I chose the one I liked best.
