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.
While Kentucky faltered, many top seeds took care of business, including all four No. 1 seeds. The defending champion No. 1 UConn Huskies remain the favorite to win the title. It will be tough to beat the Huskies at full strength. However, North Carolina, Arizona, and Iowa State could provide a formidable challenge.
