Butler is at it again. So are the boys from Tobacco Road. The Bluegrass State is represented and so are the Cheeseheads. There’s room for a double-digit seed. And, of course, The Jimmer and Brigham Young.
The second week of the NCAA tournament will make the traditionalists every bit as happy as those who love underdogs.
It’s the sort of well-balanced blend – equal parts favorites and bracket busters – that helps make March Madness what it is.
Duke and North Carolina each made it through to the second weekend after a pair of last-second wins Sunday, meaning Tobacco Road will be represented. Ohio State joined the Blue Devils as the other top seed to advance, with Kansas also going for a spot later Sunday.
Underdogs include No. 8 seed Butler, which upset top-seeded Pittsburgh, and No. 12 Richmond.
