Jay Bilas, you are a brave human being and I can't wait to see if you are right. The man predicted the outcome of every game in the NCAA Tournament and the last team standing wound up being UConn.
-
There's the first big upset of the tournament! JP Pegues became a No. 13 Furman legend after cashing in a three-pointer to kick off March Madness and upset No. 4 Virginia, 68-67, in the men's first round. The Paladins will play San Diego State on Saturday in Orlando, Fla.
-
The glass slipper fits! No. 15 Princeton upset No. 2 Arizona, 59-55, in the men's first round. The Wildcats are the first team to lose a 2-seed twice in the round of 64. Princeton will play Missouri on Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.
-
It happened again! No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson upset No. 1 Purdue, 63-58, to become the second men’s 16-seed to beat a 1-seed in NCAA tournament history. The Knights will play Florida Atlantic on Sunday in Columbus, Ohio.
-
It's amazing how quickly the blue bloods have fallen this year. No. 8 Arkansas upset No. 1 Kansas, 72-71, in the round of 32. The last five defending men's champs failed to reach the Sweet 16.
-
This is looking like the Tournament of Cinderellas. No. 15 Princeton upset No. 7 Missouri, 78-63, to reach the Sweet 16. This is the third straight men's tournament that a 15-seed reached the Sweet 16.
-
With everybody's brackets in shambles, it's time to reassess who the favorites of the tournament are. Myron Medcalf reseeded the remaining March Madness field after two No. 1 seeds went down before the Sweet 16. Here are the new seedings.
1. Alabama
2. Houston
3. UCLA
4. Texas
5. UConn
6. Tennessee
7. Gonzaga
8. Kansas State
9. Xavier
10. Creighton
11. Arkansas
12. San Diego State
13. Miami (Fla.)
14. Michigan State
15. Princeton
16. Florida Atlantic
-
These two teams need to play more often! Julian Strawther’s deep last-second 3 avoided No. 3 Gonzaga from an epic collapse against No. 2 UCLA in the men’s Sweet 16 for a 79-76 upset. The Bulldogs will play UConn on Saturday in Las Vegas.
-
Down goes another top dog! No. 5 San Diego State upset No. 1 Alabama, 71-64, to advance to the men’s Elite Eight for the first time in school history. The Aztecs will play Creighton on Sunday in Louisville, Ky.
-
We should not have doubted the underdogs. No. 5 Miami (Fla.) upset No. 1 Houston, 89-75. This is the first time since seeding started in 1979 that none of the 1-seeds made the Elite Eight. The Hurricanes will play Texas on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.
-
Tonight is a great night to be a fan of the mid-majors. No. 9 Florida Atlantic upset No. 3 Kansas State, 79-76, to become the third 9-seed to reach the men's Final Four and first since 2013.
-
I don't care which side you were rooting for, you have to have felt some pain for those kids from Spokane. No. 4 UConn upset No. 3 Gonzaga, 82-54, to reach their first Final Four since 2014. This was the largest Elite Eight win by any team since 1992.
-
This is mid-major madness! No. 5 San Diego State beat No. 6 Creighton, 57-56, to reach the first men’s Final Four in school history. The Aztecs will play Florida Atlantic on Saturday in Houston.
-
This may be the most unexpected Final Four in a long time. No. 5 Miami (Fla.) rallied for an 88-81 upset against No. 2 Texas to book their first trip to the men’s Final Four in school history. The Hurricanes will play UConn on Saturday in Houston.
-
What a thriller tonight in Houston! Lamont Butler drilled the winning basket at the buzzer as No. 5 San Diego State downed No. 9 Florida Atlantic, 72-71, in the men's Final Four. That is what March Madness is all about.
UPDATE: This should make for an exciting game. No. 4 UConn beat No. 5 Miami (Fla.), 72-59, to reach their fifth men's national title game, where they will play San Diego State on Monday in Houston.
-
In a tournament that will be remembered for the mid-major success, it was a blue blood who got that one shining moment. No. 4 UConn beat No. 5 San Diego State, 76-59, to win the men’s national championship. The Huskies won their fifth in program history, tied for the fourth most all time.
