Good morning,

Let’s dive in…

Developing Stories 📰

NCAA Tournament continued on Saturday across the country as the beginning of the second round provided more drama, upsets and the general madness of March. The first eight tickets to the Sweet 16 had been punched while eight teams saw their dreams of a national title end. The Cinderella story of the day belonged to No. 15 seed Princeton, which advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in the modern era of the NCAA Tournament by defeating No. 7 seed Missouri 78-63. Princeton is just the fourth Ivy League program to reach the regional semifinals and the first since 2010. Things went a little better Saturday for Missouri's SEC rivals. First, No. 4 seed Tennessee stopped No. 5 seed Duke 65-52. Then No. 8 seed Arkansas took down reigning national champion Kansas 72-71 as the Jayhawks became the second No. 1 seed to exit during the tournament's first weekend. Alabama avoided a similar fate by handling No. 8 seed Maryland 73-51 in the nightcap. There are 16 teams left and this is how we rank them:
