Fake College Basketball Tournament: Round of 32- Chaos in the South, Duke Out in the North

Day 1 of the Round of 32 followed closely to Friday's chaos as four top seeds were ousted with eight teams punching their ticket to the Sweet 16.

North

(1) Kansas 60                                       (8) Houston 52

The Jayhawks hopped out to an early lead and never looked back as they bounced the Cougars and are headed to the Sweet 16.

(4) Wisconsin 62                                 (5) Auburn 53

The Badgers made sure there were no surprises and handled the Tigers who went cold down the stretch. Wisconsin now has a date with Kansas in the Sweet 16.

(11) ETSU 52                                   (3) Duke 47

The Buccaneers keep dancing another day as they started with Iowa and can now added Duke to their tournament wins. The Blue Devils had a chance to tie on a late three, but missed and ETSU turned a transition bucket into a tournament dagger. They'll have to get through another Blue Blood if they want to advance further.

(2) Kentucky 56                                     (7) Providence 52

The Friars had their chances, but in the end couldn't make the shots they needed down the stretch. Kentucky will have to play dream killer when they take on East Tennessee State in the Sweet 16.

SOUTH

(8) St. Mary's 70                                             (1) Baylor 67

The Gales went for the gusto and took a late three pointer to take the lead while the Bears missed their chance to send the game into overtime. Baylor becomes the first number one seed ousted and St. Mary's survives to play in the Sweet 16 against another upset.

(5) Ohio State 86                               (4) Louisville 83

More late drama from the South as the Buckeyes and Cardinals traded back-and-forth buckets and things only amplified in the final seconds. Ohio State built up a big lead, but Louisville rallied and had it to within three and had the ball in the final seconds. However, their late three-ball never found the bottom of the net and the Buckeyes dance on to the Sweet 16 against St. Mary's.

(14) Northern Iowa 65                                   (6) Virginia 63

Unlike the other teams in this fourth of the bracket, the Panthers could come away with a clutch shot in the end. Back-and-forth until the end thanks to great success behind the arc for UNI, the Panthers and Cavaliers found themselves in a tie with under 10 seconds left. Able to get the ball inside, UNI scored with just enough time for Virginia to get the ball in without a shot. They'll face a former member of the Missouri Valley Conference in the Sweet 16.

(2) Creighton 54                             (10) USC 52

While the two schools traded blows early, the Bluejays pulled away late with the Trojans adding a late bucket to make the score appear closer than it was. Creighton and former conference foe Northern Iowa will meet in the Sweet 16, with the Bluejays being the highest seed remaining.
