There was only one legitimate upset in the first two days of the tournament, thanks to No. 10 Virginia’s overtime win against Georgia on Saturday. A pair of No. 9 seeds also upset their respective No. 8-seeded opponents. Syracuse beat Audi Crooks and Iowa State to set up a showdown with top-seeded UConn, and USC beat Clemson after the Tigers’ buzzer-beater was called off.

But that was all.
The second round should provide a lot more entertainment across the board, so it probably won’t stay that way. Three of the four No. 1 seeds will be in action on Monday to also conclude the first weekend. But only time will tell if we achieve something truly impressive before we head to the two regional sites next weekend.
Here’s everything you need to know to keep up with Monday’s second-round action.
