Second Day Recap and Saturday Viewing Guide:

Friday was a great day of high drama in the Tournament, including two overtime games going on at once. There were classics all over the map, including a great end to the Tennessee/Oklahoma State game. And Wisconsin coming back to defeat Florida State in overtime on a great drive and one. Plus Pitt getting a scare for 90% of the game in their 1/16 game. But the game of the day had to be Siena beating Ohio State in double overtime. This was a game that neither team would relinquish, and it took clutch 3s by the same guy for Siena to tie it in overtime and win it in double overtime (as Bill Raftery said: Onions! Double order!). All in all a great day of action.

Biggest Disappointment: The ACC, specifically second half performances. Boston College was ahead by 4 against USC at halftime and ended up losing by 17. Florida State was up 12 on Wisconsin at the half and didn't score a point in the first 5 or 6 minutes of the second half. And Wake Forest was down 9 at halftime but only saw their deficit grow in the second. I know Cleveland State played a very good game, and I wish I had picked them like I almost did. But what is the deal with Wake Forest? They had a terrific start to the season and closed well in the last week of the regular season with wins at Maryland and Clemson. Then they looked totally flat in an ACC tournament game against Maryland and looked just as bad last night against Cleveland State. It's a shame.

Ok, time to look ahead to Saturday's second round. There should be some great games. Once again, games on WDBJ in Roanoke/Lynchburg are so noted.

#3 Villanova vs. #6 UCLA (1:10, WDBJ) - This is probably the game I want to see most today, and the only one in this time slot. Villanova looked shaky against American and needed a second half comeback to win. UCLA edged one out over always dangerous VCU. I picked the Bruins to win this one, which will be tough in Philadelphia. The matchup to watch will be Villanova's guards against UCLA's tough defense.

#2 Memphis vs. #10 Maryland (3:20, WDBJ) - Before Thursday I would have thought this wasn't going to be much of a game. Memphis is just too powerful and good defensively for the Terps. But after Memphis' scare against Cal State Northridge, who knows? Maryland has been playing really well the last couple weeks and at this point an upset wouldn't shock me.
#1 UConn vs. #9 Texas A&M (3:35) - The Aggies had one of the most impressive wins of Day 1, but then against UConn won by nearly 60 points. The Huskies to me are the shakiest #1 seed but they have too much talent for A&M.

#4 Washington vs. #5 Purdue (5:40) - This should be a great battle between two very solid teams. Washington had little trouble dispatching of Mississippi State, and has several different weapons with Jon Brockman and Justin Dentmon. For Purdue, if they are hitting their 3s they are very hard to beat. Robbie Hummel has been great since coming back from injury. Expect this one to go down to the wire.
#1 North Carolina vs. #8 LSU (5:45, WDBJ) - The Heels looked very impressive in a thrashing of Radford, and of course all anyone is talking about is whether Ty Lawson will be able to play. LSU has some offensive weapons and a tough defense but I don't think they can match up in a track meet in UNC's backyard.
#2 Oklahoma vs. #10 Michigan (5:50) - Michigan had a nice win over Clemson, and with Beilein's 1-3-1 zone can give anyone fits. The question is can it slow down Blake Griffin? Oklahoma had no problem in their first game but will definitely have more of a challenge here.

#4 Gonzaga vs. #12 Western Kentucky (8:10) - The Zags have had one of the best draws, playing in nearby Portland and facing an Akron team that few people thought would make any noise. Now they get a Western Kentucky team that is good, but not athletic enough to match up with them. It would be a nice step for Mark Few's team to get back to the Sweet 16.
#2 Duke vs. #7 Texas (8:15, WDBJ) - A lot of people seem to be smelling upset here. And if Texas had played up to potential all year they certainly would not have been a 7 seed. Texas has the pieces to put together an upset but Duke's discipline and outside shooting should be enough to get them to next week.
