March Madness is living up to its name and here are the top five moments of the NCAA Tournament’s second round.

The second round of the NCAA Tournament is never really quite as wild or unpredictable as the first, but the teams who have made it this far are there for a reason. Some lower seeds were making serious noise on the fourth day of March Madness and Sunday night made up for Saturday’s lack of hotly-contested games.

Saturday night was business as usual. No games were really that close as the higher seed took care of business 6-of-8 times. Even when the lower seeds won, like Gonzaga, it wasn’t a crazy game. The Bulldogs absolutely clobbered Utah in the second round to advance to the Sweet 16, but should anyone be that surprised?

Sunday was much more competitive despite the first game between Iowa and Villanova being a blowout. The Hawkeyes didn’t even sniff victory the entire contest, losing by 19 points and heading home early.

The night games were the most exciting as both the Northern Iowa vs. Texas A&M game and the Wisconsin vs. Xavier games were down to the wire and had everyone in America holding their breath.

What are the top five moments from the round of 32 and can anything top the first round of action?
