Afternoon Doubleheader

	Brooklyn: Barclays Center SOUTH REGION No. 7 Iowa Hawkeyes (22-10) Big Ten at-large vs. No. 2 Villanova Wildcats (30-5) Big East at-large and Regular Season Champion Tip Time: 12:10 p.m. Channel: CBS
	Brooklyn: Barclays Center EAST REGION No. 14 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (28-5) Southland Regular Season and Tournament Champion vs. No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (22-11) ACC at-large Tip Time: approx. 2:40 p.m. Channel: CBS

Villanova famously last made the second weekend in 2009, when they managed to get all the way to the Final Four. If the February-March version of Iowa shows up today in Brooklyn, the Wildcats should be on their way to Louisville. The second game at Barclays Center will be intriguing, simply because Stephen F. Austin is a more offensively potent version of the West Virginia Mountaineers squad they eliminated on Friday night. That could be trouble for an Irish team that will be bothered by the Lumberjacks' press.

Early Evening Tips

	Oklahoma City: Chesapeake Energy Arena WEST REGION No. 10 VCU Rams (25-10) A 10 at-large and Regular Season Champion (co) vs. No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners (26-7) Big 12 at-large Tip Time: 5:15 p.m. Channel: CBS
	St. Louis: Scottrade Center MIDWEST REGION No. 15 Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (25-9) C-USA Tournament Champion vs. No. 10 Syracuse Orange (20-13) ACC at-large Tip Time: 6:10 p.m. Channel: TNT
	Spokane: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena SOUTH REGION No. 13 Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors (28-5) Big West Regular Season and Tournament Champion vs. No. 5 Maryland Terrapins (26-8) Big Ten at-large Tip Time: 7:10 p.m. Channel: TBS

In this window, double-digit seed will join the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the Sweet Sixteen, with another two having slightly longer odds. The key to VCU's virtual road game will be rebounding, particularly with how often Oklahoma fires from the perimeter. In St. Louis, Middle Tennessee clearly has the shooters to neutralize Syracuse's zone, so if the Orange have a rough day from the field, the Blue Raiders could become the second 15 seed ever to reach the second weekend. Out in Spokane, Hawai'i's athleticism will test Maryland, who cannot let their foot off the gas in the second half as they did against South Dakota State. The Rainbow Warriors have the offensive ability to really make the Terps pay if there's a repeat of Friday.

Viewing Picks

Hawai'i-Maryland, 7:10 p.m. (TBS)
Middle Tennessee-Syracuse. 6:10 p.m. (TNT)
VCU-Oklahoma, 5:15 p.m. (CBS)

Late Evening Tips

	Oklahoma City: Chesapeake Energy Arena WEST REGION No. 11 UNI Panthers (23-12) MVC Tournament Champion vs. No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies (27-8) SEC at-large and Regular Season Champion (co) Tip Time: approx. 7:45 p.m. Channel: TruTV
	St. Louis: Scottrade Center EAST REGION No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers (21-12) Big Ten at-large vs. No. 2 Xavier Musketeers (28-5) Big East at-large Tip Time: approx. 8:40 p.m. Channel: TNT
	Spokane: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena WEST REGION No. 8 Saint Joseph's Hawks (28-7) A 10 Tournament Champion vs. No. 1 Oregon Ducks (29-6) Pac-12 Regular Season and Tournament Champion Tip Time: approx. 9:40 p.m. Channel: TBS

The final three games of the first weekend feature a trio of top three seeds who are all heavily favored to get through. UNI might have the best shot at advancing because of their defense, but the Panthers aren't a great rebounding team, which could hand a big advantage to the Aggies if UNI's shots don't fall. In the nightcap in St. Louis, Wisconsin will not be able to eliminate Xavier if it's as offensively mediocre as it was in Friday night's win against Pittsburgh. In Spokane, Saint Joe's has the opposite concern. DeAndre' Bembry and company can score with Oregon, but I'm not sure they can get the stops needed to send the Ducks back to Eugene.

Viewing Picks

UNI-Texas A&M, approx. 7:40 p.m. (TruTV)
Wisconsin-Xavier, approx. 8:40 p.m. (TNT)
Saint Joseph's-Oregon, approx. 9:40 p.m. (TBS)
