We are halfway to the second round of this year’s NCAA tournament. On Saturday there are already eight games, and on Sunday we have eight more encores. With eight Sweet 16 berths on the line, the stakes continue to rise as the grid begins to shrink ahead of the second weekend.
Action Tips just after noon on Sunday, when No. 4 seed Illinois and No. 5 seed Illinois start the first of three Southern Region bouts. In the afternoon, Villanova’s second place and Ohio State’s seventh place open. After both teams emerged as favorites with double-digit wins in the first round, the two teams, finally fully recovered, round out a fun daytime period.
In the evening, things really pick up when at 5:15 pm between two blue bloods from No. 2 Duke and No. 7 Michigan State, led by two Hall of Famers Mike Krzyszewski and Tom Izzo respectively. Izzo is 3-12 all-time against Coach K, with his Spartans scoring 6.5 points. But Coach K in his last season saw his Blue Devils play erratic at times last month and they are quite vulnerable even as one of the best teams in the West Region. Also on the list are No. 3 seed Wisconsin, No. 2 seed Auburn, No. 3 seed Purdue, and No. 1 seed Arizona, all in action as the first weekend action draws to a close.
