Day Two Recap and Day Three Preview

The tourney really heated up in day two with wire-to-wire excitement. Oklahoma St held off Tennessee for a two point win, Marquette escaped Utah St, Arizona St edged out Temple, and Kansas and Pittsburgh survived upset attempts from North Dakota St and East Tennessee St, respectively. And all of that happened during the day session.

The night session provided more thrills as 12th seededArizona got past Utah as many had speculated they would. Then came the tourney's first true upset, as 13th seeded Cleveland St knocked off #3 seed Wake Forest comfortably. But the action wasn't finished on Friday. Siena outlasted Ohio St in a double overtime game, and Wisconsin shut down Florida St 61-59 in overtime to cap a competitive day of hoops.

Today's schedule promises more quality games, as we move into the Round of 32. A quick look at today's eight game lineup on CBS:
