A look at all the third round action that is set to take place this weekend in the third round of the NCAA Tournament


Thursday and Friday were some of the wildest first two full days of the NCAA Tournament that we have seen in quite some time, both for different reasons. Thursday brought us one of the more exciting single days in the tournament that we’ve ever seen, which included two No. 3 seeds getting bounced. Now Friday, on the other hand, was less eventful, with most of the top seeds getting the wins, aside from Dayton over Providence.

But, with that out of the way now, it’s time to move on with the NCAA Tournament weekend and that means the playing of all the third round games, with the right to go to the Sweet 16 on the line.
