No. But keep an eye on the Gauchos’ ultra-efficient floor general Ajay Mitchell, who hits over 50% of his field goals and 81.5% of his free throws, all while dishing out 5.2 assists a game. For the second consecutive year, the Bobcats find themselves pitted against a Big 12 squad as a No. They’re hoping for a better showing than they managed in a 35-point loss to Texas Tech, but the Wildcats, though less tournament tested in recent years, will also be a physical mismatch for them. Tyler Kolek and the Golden Eagles, the lone 2 seeds in action on Friday, would like to make short work of the Catamounts. The good news for the Wolfpack is they don’t have to play Clemson again, responsible for three of their 10 losses. Xavier needed to retool its frontcourt a bit since Zach Freemantle went out with a foot injury, but Jack Nunge, the hero of last year’s NIT championship team, has helped fill in the rebounding gap. Kent State is capable of taking advantage if primary facilitator Sincere Carry is in top form. Even though its membership has changed over the years, the Missouri Valley Conference is always a threat to make noise in March. Spartans coach Tom Izzo, of course, is no stranger to the trials and tribulations of March, and MSU’s swarming defense will make life difficult for the Trojans. Curiously, the second day of March Madness features all four of the No. 3 seeds in action, and by extension all of the often compelling No.

WAMC Sports Report 3/17/23: March Madness comes to Albany (WAMC)

No. 13 seed Furman beat fourth-seeded Virginia 68-67 and No. 15 Princeton defeated second-seeded Arizona 59-55.

Steven Stamkos had two goals and an assist in regulation, and Alex Killorn and Ross Colton each scored in the shootout to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Ryan Brehm was having a solid round in the Valspar Championship. Frederic opened the scoring at 50 seconds of the first period with his 15th goal of the season. The Mets announced Thursday night that Díaz had surgery earlier in the day. Chris Kreider scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and added an empty-netter, and Igor Shesterkin made 30 saves as the New York Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2. Kreider then scored his 30th of the season into an empty net at 19:10 to seal the win and give the third-place Rangers a 10-point lead over Pittsburgh in the Metropolitan Division. Spencer Dinwiddie added 18 points and Nic Claxton had 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets. All-American Marcus Sasser is a big question mark in the NCAA Tournament. Virginia was eliminated in the first round as the higher-seeded team for the third time in its past four NCAA tournaments. As Pitino prepares to face fourth-seeded Connecticut in the first round of the West Region, speculation is swirling that he could be heading back to the Big East to become coach of St. Making their first trip to the NCAA Tournament in 43 years, the Paladins advanced to the second round in the South Region, where they will play either San Diego State or Charleston on Saturday. Meanwhile, today’s action includes the first men’s tournament games held in Albany since 2003.

Perfect brackets are rare, of course. Thursday’s victory by Princeton has lowered the number of perfect brackets to less than 1%—way less.

2023 March Madness predictions: NCAA bracket expert picks ... (CBSSports.com)

A closer look at the first round games on Friday's slate of the NCAA Tournament.

ZAGS ZAGS -15.5 Grand Canyon is a better opponent than your middle-of-the-pack WCC foe, but the Zags have too much length and athleticism to not win this one with ease. This Gaels team is well-coached, works hard on defense and has size to mitigate -- maybe not eliminate, but mitigate -- the advantages UConn has with its athleticism and length. Saint Mary's has been a borderline top-10 team across KenPom and BartTorvik's metrics all season. This Baylor team has struggled to be consistent at various points this season, but it can score in bunches led by the second-most efficient offense in the sport and a top-40 3-point shooting team by percentage. [March Madness Live](https://mml.smart.link/i2m6p5d5v?game=220&cid=mml_partner_cbs_game): What we've seen from Indiana the last month is equal parts encouraging and terrifying if you're projecting its prospects ahead to the tourney. I like the Owls to win this one outright, so I'll take the 2.5 points. Let's take a look at our expert picks for the final day of the first round on Friday. Of course, getting some extra skin in the games may help put you in the tournament spirit (if you aren't already there). But if the only struggle with By the time the day ends on Friday and the first-round action comes to a close, the 2023 NCAA Tournament field will be whittled down to 32 teams.

“As I saw it go into Garrett Hien’s hands, I was like, I want the ball. “You know, this game is – interesting might be the word I’d use. You feel like, we got it, we got it, and then all of a sudden in a moment’s notice, it changes at the end.” “So as soon as I got the ball and I’ve seen the shot attempt I had, I knew all I could do at that point was just rise up and shoot it, and I had full belief that it was going in, and it did.” With Virginia up two and less than 10 seconds on the clock, the Paladins forced a steal at mid-court, Garrett Hien seizing on a lazy pass and driving forward. Many were expecting a walkover for the Cavs and the Paladins were behind for most of the encounter – Virginia extended their lead to 12 points at one stage.
