Reddit Pocket Flipboard Email. Share this story Twitter Facebook. NCAA Bracket is here. The first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is almost in the books and it's left many a bracket in shambles. One No. After the dust from Saturday's games settled, eight teams advanced to the second weekend of March Madness.
From Butler to Richmond, all eight teams to survive and advance to the Sweet Sixteen are there. It's a good time to check on your own bracket to see just how well or, in the case of many, how poorly your predictions have fared. The Bulldogs needed a buzzer beater from Matt Howard, who was a key part of their run last year, to beat the dangerous Monarchs.
Obviously, the Bulldogs are going to need a better effort in the second round to knock off a potential No. On the other hand, Old Dominion is a team that probably deserved a higher seed than a No. You also have to like the experience that Butler has.

Well, after a terrible game by the freshman, he made the biggest play of his young career by hitting a layup with just two seconds left to get past a frisky Princeton team.
It was the only shot the freshman made all game. The good news for Knight was that he had been feeding the hot hand all day, collecting five assists and he had just one turn over.

While a win by a No. Many had high expectations for the Aztecs this year, but my biggest question surrounding them has always been how they would cope with being favored. Now that the Aztecs have gotten that elusive first win, it will be interesting to see how they can build on that. The Aztecs have an interesting game to look forward to with Temple looming on Saturday. Temple head coach Fran Dunphy is among the best in college hoops, albeit very underrated.
He led Penn to 10 NCAA tournament bids in his 17 years there, and now, he has led the Owls to four in a row since his arrival.
