The second day of the First Round of March Madness didn't see as many upsets as the first, with several favorites dodging season-ending losses only in the final minutes. That included No. 3 seed Wisconsin, which saw Colgate make things a bit too close for comfort in Friday's nightcap before the Badgers eventually pulled out the 67-60 win.
Potentially the biggest upset, based on seed, featured No. 11 Notre Dame continuing its run, adding a victory over No. 6 seed Alabama to its First Four win against Rutgers from earlier this week. The Fighting Irish still need one more win, on Sunday against Texas Tech, to get to the tournament's second weekend.
Speaking of the Red Raiders, they were one of four Big 12 teams to win on Friday, defeating Montana State to join TCU over Seton Hall, Texas over Virginia Tech and, in the lone real upset, No. 11 seed Iowa State over LSU. That leaves the Big 12 at 6-0 through the first round, with four of those six victories coming by at least 27 points.
The Big Ten also had an undefeated day, though not nearly by the same margin. No. 7 seed Ohio State held No. 10 seed Loyola Chicago to a historically bad shooting outing, and No. 3 seed Purdue defeated No. 14 seed Yale by 22. But Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan State all sweated out their wins. The Fighting Illini led for all of 25 seconds of a 54-53 win over upset-minded Chattanooga, and Michigan State held off Davidson 74-73. Compared to those two, Wisconsin's win was a breeze, though the Badgers didn't add some space until the final minutes.
The lone No. 1 seed to play Friday, Arizona, started its potential deep tournament run with an 87-70 victory against Wright State. The Wildcats will take on TCU in the second round.
