The second round of the NCAA Tournament continues on Sunday with another full slate of big name matchups. While the Friday grouping of first round games didn’t produce much drama — only USC, Wichita State and Rhode Island completed upsets — the final day of games this weekend promises much more excitement.

The day starts with a rematch of the 2013 championship game between No. 2 Louisville and No. 7 Michigan in the Midwest Region at 12:10 p.m. ET. The rosters may not be as deep as they were for the Final Four a few years back, but with Derrick Walton Jr. doing his best Trey Burke impression, and Louisville boasting one of the best field goal percentage defenses in the country (39.6 percent) this game should be every bit the back-and-forth affair we saw in 2013.
Immediately after the Wolverines and Cardinals, we get another grudge match between No. 10 Wichita State and No. 2 Kentucky. The Wildcats famously ended the Shockers’ undefeated season in the second round with a two-point victory en route to a Final Four appearance in 2014. Now it’s WSU coach Gregg Marshall who gets an attempt to play spoiler.
No. 1 Kansas will face No. 9 Michigan State for the first time since Denzel Valentine posted a triple-double against the Jayhawks in the 2015 Champions Classic at 5:15 p.m. And the day is rounded out with the likes of No. 11 Rhode Island vs. No. 3 Oregon, No. 7 South Carolina vs. No. 2 Duke, No. 6 Cincinnati vs. No. 3 UCLA, and No. 8 Arkansas vs. No. 1 North Carolina.
