The first day of the NCAA Tournament gave us a buzzer-beater, a major upset and a handful of competitive games that made us say “This Is March.” The stakes of Saturday’s games are even higher now though, as winner’s will be awarded Sweet 16 bids.

If you missed Thursday’s games, No. 13 seed Buffalo pulled off the biggest upset of the day over No. 4 Arizona. To continue a Cinderella run, they’ll have to get past No. 5 Kentucky, which is stacked with a handful of upcoming first-round picks.

No. 11 Loyola Chicago is the lone other upset team playing on Saturday, after knocking off No. 6 Miami just ahead of the buzzer off a three-point shot. They’ll play No. 3 Tennessee, which easily handled business over No. 14 Wright State by 26 points.

Also in action are Grayson Allen and the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils, who play against the No. 7 Rhode Island team that survived overtime against Oklahoma. The Blue Devils are a popular pick to reach the Final Four, but they’ll have a tough test against E.C. Matthews and the Rams.

Two No. 1 seeds will also play, with Villanova taking on Collin Sexton’s No. 9 Crimson Tide, and Kansas will play No. 8 Seton Hall. The Jayhawks had to fight through some pushback from No. 16 Penn on Thursday, but ultimately won with room to spare. The Wildcats took care of Radford easily, and Alabama will have to play nearly perfectly to pull this one out.
