Pitino and Calipari face off in March Madness battle of coaching greats
Mackenzie Salmon takes a look at the best games to watch on the first day of second round action in the NCAA Tournament including a battle of coaching legends.
Sports Seriously
The first round of the men’s NCAA Tournament is complete after Friday’s games, and now the schedule for Sunday is set.
Those that emerged victorious on Friday will get a day off before they play their second-round game on Sunday, and eight games will take place to end the first weekend of March Madness. All No. 1 seeds remain, and after impressive opening-round games from Florida and Duke, both teams will try to put up another strong performance. On the opposite side, No. 12 seed Colorado State will try to continue its hot streak against Maryland.
The NCAA Tournament is already intense, but the pressure will only ramp up with Sweet 16 spots on the line Sunday.
