The first day of the NCAA Tournament concluded with few upsets but a bit more chaos throughout the day. Two of those survivors meet in the second round when 3-seed LSU squares off with 6-seed Maryland in Jacksonville.
LSU escaped a late threat from 14-seed Yale on Thursday. The Tigers dominated the majority of the game, but the Bulldogs mounted a late charge with an onslaught of 3-pointers in the final minutes. Maryland, meanwhile, simply reached the finish line first in a back-and-forth affair against 11-seed Belmont that went down to the final seconds.
The No. 6 vs. No. 11 matchup in the NCAA Tournament is usually one of the more interesting pairings. The Maryland Terrapins vs.
No. 1 overall seed Kansas’ bid for a fourth national championship will begin again on Thursday when the Jayhawks take on No. 5 Maryland at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky.
The first week of the NCAA Tournament has come and gone, and we have cut down the field to the Sweet 16. Northern Iowa, Stephen F. Austin and Middle Tennessee tried their best to play the role of Cinderella, but the clock has struck midnight on the mid-majors, as the Sweet 16 has turned into a battle of the college basketball big boys — including a record six ACC teams.
