After two nonstop days of basketball games, 32 teams remain in the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. March Madness has lived up to its name as multiple double-digit seeds advanced to the Second Round. The most noteworthy upset came Thursday night when No. 14 Oakland shocked the world and defeated No. 3 Kentucky to advance to the next round.
