Slowly but surely, Ed Cooley’s Providence Friars are gaining on the top tier of the Big East. The Friars played in a fifth straight NCAA Tournament a year ago, something that only national champion Villanova and Xavier can claim among Big East teams. The Friars made it to the Big East Tournament title game, knocking off the Musketeers in the process. Yet another first-round crash in the NCAAs (to Texas A&M) left PC fans wanting more.
Much like a superhero movie franchise, March Madness is producing a sequel to one of the better NCAA Tournament games from last season.
Day one of the first round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament brought us a smattering of exciting upsets and fantastic finishes. From Arkansas-Little Rock's double overtime rally against Purdue to Yale's first-ever NCAA Tournament victory, college basketball fans got to enjoy the type of moments that make March Madness so captivating. And that was just on Thursday.
