Houston Cougars and Alabama are the favorite teams to win in this tournament. Cougars got the first seed.

[Wally450]

[L.Kizzle]

Holy shit @ 16 Fairleigh Dickinson

up 5 with a minute left
I don't even know where they're located at.

[SouBeachTalents]

I thought it’d be years until we saw this happen again. It didn’t happen once for like 35 years, now it’s happened twice in 5 years. Wonder how common an occurrence this will become now.

[Hey Yo]

I don't even know where they're located at.

They're located in the round of 32

[Smook A.]

First round day 1 (Thursday)

#15 Princeton beat #2 Arizona 59-55. Balanced effort for Princeton, with no one scoring above 15.

#13 Furman beat #4 Virginia 68-67. Jalen Swawson scored 19, with 10 rebounds. JP Pegues hit the game-winning three.

[Street Hunger]

First round day 2 (Friday)

The one big upset so far today is #16 Fairleigh Dickinson beating #1 Purdue. Sean Moore scored 19 in the win. Zach Edey had 21 points and 15 rebounds in the loss.

[imdaman99]

Watched that upset when FDU was up at halftime. I have a couple of friends that live near there but even they couldn't tell you anything about the team lol

Anyways, just goes to show you how guard play is what makes or breaks you. Purdue has the best big man yet the point guard looked shook, had 7 turnovers and got blocked too many times. Not to mention how many open shots Purdue players turned down. FDU looked more athletic.

#15 Princeton is up big on #7 Missouri

#5 Duke is out. Beaten by #4 Tennessee

And in the biggest news so far today, #8 Arkansas beat #1 Kansas by ONE POINT.

Gonzaga always happens to play in these crazy games... they were getting rekt in the 1st half, and of course they're ready to blow the doors off UCLA in the 2nd half and then Bruins come back with a fury to take the lead... and then some kid on Zags hits a 3 from 30 feet lol

I didn't watch the actual good game today (wasn't home) and UConn basically abused Miami. Any chance for SD State against UConn? I doubt it.

Gonna tune in to the women's final tomorrow :banana: Caitlin Clark not to be confused with Caitlin Stark goatin all over the place :banana:
