Well, Friday provided some of the craziest first round of basketball we have ever seen. For the first time in history, a top seed fell in the opening round as the No. 1 Virginia Cavaliers lost to No. 16 UMBC Retrievers, 74-54. Elsewhere around the bracket, No. 13 Marshall gave the No. 4 Wichita State Shockers and early ticket home.
Now that the dust has barely settled, it is time to pick up the second round and continue to plow ahead. Luckily, for the Zags, they start a bit later, so either your St. Patrick’s Day will be the prime time to celebrate, or the prime time to commiserate.
All the times listed below are in pacific time.
