NCAA Second Round: Sunday Viewing Guide

The madness continues Sunday, with 8 more games. Here's what you can expect:

#1 Syracuse vs. #8 Gonzaga (12:10 p.m., WDBJ)
You have to be impressed with the way Gonzaga played in the first round. And with the success of St. Mary's, the WCC is looking strong. That being said, I'm not sure the Zags have the discipline to go up against Syracuse's zone. It should be an entertaining game though.

#2 Ohio State vs. #10 Georgia Tech (2:20 p.m.)
This time slot is loaded with great games, starting with this one. Georgia Tech, if they don't turn the ball over, can play with anyone. Their talent on the inside will test Ohio State. It will be tough going against Evan Turner though, who can take over any game. The Buckeyes stand to be the biggest winners from last night's Kansas loss.
#4 Maryland vs. #5 Michigan State (2:30 p.m.)
This is probably the marquee game of the day. Last year, Maryland beat Michigan State, and they will look to do it again. Michigan State is capable of making a run like last year, but so far this season hasn't quite figured it out. On the Maryland side, anytime you are playing with Greivis Vasquez, you have a chance.
#2 West Virginia vs. #10 Missouri (2:40 p.m., WDBJ)
Everyone remembers what Mizzou did last year, and for that reason you can't count them out in this game. But West Virginia seems to have it really going well, and has all the tools to make a deep March run.
#4 Wisconsin vs. #12 Cornell (2:50 p.m.)
The Big Red from Cornell made a lot of believers in their first round performance against Temple. They will now face a Wisconsin team that doesn't always win ugly but finds ways to win. First to 60 should win this one.

#3 Pittsburgh vs. #6 Xavier (4:50 p.m.)
Xavier remembers all too well what happened last year: a loss to Pittsburgh in the tournament. They will be out for payback here. I think these two teams are pretty evenly matched. Expect a tight game.
#4 Purdue vs. #5 Texas A&M (5:00 p.m.)
Most people expected Purdue to bow out in the first round, but they showed some toughness in pulling one out. They will be against a much more difficult foe today, though, in Texas A&M. The Aggies looked very strong in their first round game.
#1 Duke vs. #8 California (5:15 p.m.)
Cal was one of the most impressive teams in the first round, using an impressive display of speed to blow past Louisville. They have the potential to really give Duke problems. I think in the end it will come down to who can make their 3s to decide the winner.
