It seemed as if the bedlam of Thursday's four upsets was restored as Friday's games saw just one underdog prevail past a higher-ranked foe with the Dayton Flyers soaring past Providence in the day's last game. Although Friday, save for Dayton, failed to pave way for a Cinderella emergence, it still managed a few nail-biting contests as a pair of four seeds in Maryland and Louisville just barely squeaked by Valparaiso and UC-Irvine.
The first of the Round of 32 games feature National Title contenders in Kentucky, Arizona and Villanova but also stage surprises in UAB and Georgia State. The games start shortly after noon with the last game starting at 9:40 p.m. EDT. Spring is finally upon us, but Mother Nature can wait a few more days until we bask in her sun, as our day will gladly be spent flipping back and forth between ball games for a third consecutive day.
