The 2012 NCAA Tournament continues into Sunday with the second and final day of the Round of 32. A few precious spots are still left in the Sweet 16. Two of the teams attempting to advance on Sunday are the No. 1 seed North Carolina Tar Heels and No. 8 seed Creighton Bluejays.

Sunday's start time for the game between the two teams was pushed back due to a medical emergency, according to World-Herald Sports. The bus driver bringing the Creighton team to the game needed to pull over for an unspecified medical issue. A second driver was dispatched to finish transporting the team.

The new start time of the game is 4:30 p.m. CST. The game will be delayed by about 15 minutes.
