March Madness Sweet 16 Day 1 Recap and Gig’em Gazette Bracket Challenge Update

Even though there were only four games, Thursday might have been the best day of basketball yet in the 2017 NCAA Tournament. There was one blowout, but the other three games came down to the final shot. When it was all said and done four teams got sent home and four squads are Elite 8 bound. Sidebar: how many coaches teach their teams to settle for bad three point shots when a layup would suffice in the final seconds? Sigh.

  • 1 Seed Kansas defeated 4 Seed Purdue 98-66
