Friday Recap

What a weird and wild day Friday was! Two No. 12 seeds and two No. 13 seeds advanced, and all four of those teams played their games in Tampa. Two games went into overtime and both produced thrilling results - Western Kentucky over Drake and San Diego over UConn. 32 teams are left standing as we head into the second round.

Best Win

No. 12 Villanova, against No. 5 Clemson

There are a lot of choices for Friday's best win, but Villanova was down by 18 points at one time, and managed to come back despite being undersized and relying on basically two players for offense. Scottie Reynolds showed incredible poise for a sophomore and took his team on his back to carry them to the next round.


Worst Loss

No. 4 Vanderbilt, to No. 13 Siena

The fact that Vanderbilt lost wasn't as shocking as how much they lost by. Siena shot 56.5 % from the field, and hit 22 of 25 free throws to defeat Vanderbilt, 83-62.


Best Individual Performance

Stephen Curry, Davidson

There were a lot of great individual performances to choose from today, but Curry scored 40 points, and hit 8 of the 10 three-pointers he attempted to lead Davidson to the upset of Gonzaga. The only thing that dampened his performance, was having to watch his mom's performance in the stands.


Seth Davis Smugness Watch

5/10

Before the first game started today, Davis confidently announced that 5 upsets would happen: Davidson, Siena, St. Joe's, St. Mary's, and South Alabama. Two of those came true. At the end of the day, it seemed like Davis took credit for predicting all of the day's upsets. Smugness level rising quickly.
