Terrible finish to the half for Furman. The first five minutes of the second half are going to be huge in this one.
They’re here!!! 🏊

The Miami (OH) swim/dive team storms down the bleachers in Speedos, as SMU is about to take a free throw 🤣
Whole crowd goes crazy.

Farris Reed has 29/25 stat line… wow
Well, this is not an encouraging trend for Cinderellas. ...

The NCAA tournament went to 64 teams in 1985. Only 7 times have the 13-14-15 seeds all gone winless in the first round.
It's now happened two years in a row (for the first time).
This year's first round had 13 of its 32 games decided by at least 20 points.

That's the most ever, per CBS Sports research.
The largest margin of victory in a men's NCAA tournament game is now 59 points by Florida over Prairie View A&M 114-55 surpassing 58 points in 1998 when Kansas defeated Prairie View A&M 110-52

As is often the case, Day 2 of the tournament after an upset-filled opening day has been pretty anticlimactic.
It seems the upsets usually come on one day or the other. If they're on the first day, the favorites lock in on Day 2.

This year's first round had 13 of 32 games decided by 20+ points.
High Point only true mid-major still alive, and its NIL is probably most of any team in 1-bid league.
I hate to admit it, but due to NIL & transfer portal, Cinderellas may be dead.

SLU hanging in there with Michigan right now. I don't think they'll win, but it's a mid major not backing down to a power program.
