2016 NCAA Tournament: Friday schedule, TV times and open game thread

You need a place to chat, we got a place to chat.

We saw some great games yesterday, and the beauty of it is that we still have another full day of action.

Yesterday, Yale and Arkansas-Little Rock were the big winners, toppling Baylor and Purdue, respectively. Gonzaga got in on the action as another double-digit seed taking down its opponent. Wichita State downed Arizona in a game not many were surprised by North Carolina looked like they might be the first No. 1 seed to finally lose (for a half), and Duke jammed it in everyone's faces by pushing past UNC-Wilmington. That was just day one.

Plenty more action on the docket today. Can Oregon State justify their No. 7 seed? Will Hawaii fulfill its destiny as a popular upset pick? Can Cal push past all the drama swirling the locker room at the moment? Plenty to talk about today, and here is your place to do it.
