Chris in Syracuse re-joins Dave for a recap of the first and second round action in the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament plus a Sweet Sixteen Preview. What a weekend it was for college basketball. Oral Roberts shocks Number 2 seeded Ohio State, several 13 and 14 seeds pull off upsets such as Ohio stunning Virginia and Abilene Christian taking out Texas. We also cover the massive success for the Pac 12 teams so far: USC and UCLA, Oregon, and Oregon State, all making the Sweet 16. Plus a look back at the very UN-successful weekend for the Big Ten, including the #1 seeded Illinois losing to a tough Loyola Chicago team, a surprising loss for Purdue against North Texas, and Michigan State blowing a huge lead in the First Four round to UCLA.
Later it's a look toward the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, with a modified schedule for 2021. Games will go Saturday through Tuesday rather than the normal Thursday through Sunday, and in these two rounds some pretty great matchups: Villanova/Baylor, USC/Oregon, Loyola Chicago/Oregon St., and UCLA/Alabama. It's our continuing coverage of March Madness in the city.
