[h=1]Preview: Butler vs Purdue[/h]When: 12:10 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan
[FONT="]Purdue appeared to suffer a key injury in its 74-48 first-round NCAA Tournament victory over Cal State Fullerton when 7-2 center Isaac Haas suffered a fractured right elbow while fighting for a rebound in the second half. But Haas, who will need to undergo surgery at some point, took part in some drills during Saturday's practice and may play in Sunday's second-round East Regional contest with Butler in Detroit if the NCAA approves a special elbow brace.
[FONT="]Haas, who had nine points and 10 rebounds in 15 minutes before suffering the injury, is the second leading scorer for the Boilermakers (14.7) and also averages 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. The finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, which goes to the nation's top college center, had 15 points and three rebounds in just 16 foul-plagued minutes in a 82-67 victory over the Bulldogs in a Dec. 16 meeting in the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis, so his loss would be a big one for No. 2 seed Purdue. "He's trying to convince me, but it is what it is," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "I don't see him playing. His future is more important." No. 10 seed Butler, which is eyeing its fourth Sweet 16 appearance in nine years, opened the tournament with a 79-62 victory over Arkansas.[/FONT]
TV:[FONT="] 12:10 p.m. ET, CBS[/FONT]
ABOUT BUTLER (21-13):[FONT="] The Bulldogs are 15-3 when outrebounding an opponent and finished with a 45-25 edge on the boards over the Razorbacks in Friday's first-round victory. Senior forward Kelan Martin went over 2,000 career points in the victory, and the All-Big East pick finished with 27 points on 9-of-16 shooting, including five 3-pointers. Sophomore guard Kamar Baldwin also had a big game, finishing with 24 points - the seventh 20-point game of his career and his sixth this season.[/FONT]
ABOUT PURDUE (29-6): [FONT="]The Boilermakers held Butler, which averages 8.3 triples, to just one 3-pointer in the first 28 minutes in their December victory while building a 26-point lead. Sophomore guard Carsen Edwards, who leads the team in scoring (18.4 points), had a team-high 18 points in the first meeting with the Bulldogs, while senior forward Vincent Edwards, who is third on the team in scoring (14.5), finished with 15 points, including 4-of-5 3-pointers. Senior guard Dakota Mathias is also averaging in double figures (12.3) and has connected on 92-of-199 3-pointers.[/FONT]
TIP-INS:
[FONT="]1. The winner heads to Boston to face No. 3 seed Texas Tech (25-9).[/FONT]
[FONT="]2. Purdue ranks second nationally in 3-point percentage (42.0) and has made a school-record 335 3-pointers this season.[/FONT]
[FONT="]3. The Boilermakers are 21-0 this year when shooting 48 percent or better from the field.[/FONT][/FONT]

[h=1]Preview: Syracuse vs Michigan St[/h]When: 2:40 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan
[FONT="]Michigan State looks to advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three seasons when it takes on surprising Syracuse in a Midwest Region second-round contest Sunday in Detroit. The third-seeded Spartans advanced with a victory over Bucknell on Friday, while the 11th-seeded Orange got past TCU in their first-round game.
[FONT="]Sophomore guard Tyus Battle leads Syracuse's offensive attack with an average of 19.7 points, while Oshae Brissett and Frank Howard each chip in 14.9 per contest. But the story of the Orange is coach Jim Boeheim's matchup zone defense that causes teams lots of trouble and will be a big test for a Michigan State team that has struggled with zones this season. Miles Bridges (17.3 points) is a versatile offensive force for the Spartans, as he has made 68 3-pointers but also is capable of getting to the hoop and finishing at the rim. The key for Michigan State will be the play of point guard Cassius Winston (12.6 points, 51.4 3-point percentage, 6.9 assists), who must handle the zone and the size of Syracuse's defenders when they extend to apply pressure on the ball.[/FONT]
TV:[FONT="] 2:40 p.m. ET, CBS[/FONT]
ABOUT SYRACUSE (22-13): [FONT="]Freshman forward Marek Dolezaj scored in double figures just twice in 14 games prior to the Orange's first-round contest against TCU, but the Slovakian recorded a team-high 17 points to give the team an offensive boost. Boeheim would love to see a repeat performance versus Michigan State because as good as Syracuse's defense is, it will need to score points against a very tough defensive squad. With Battle finishing with fewer than 10 points for just the second time this season, Dolezaj's production was much-needed, and it will be for as long as the Orange stay alive in the Tournament.[/FONT]
ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (30-4): [FONT="]Since the Spartans' first loss of the season to Duke in November, the question of whether or not Bridges is aggressive enough offensively in big games has been there for coach Tom Izzo. The sophomore has tried to find balance in his offensive game, with Michigan State's deep rotation allowing him not to have to dominate the ball, but against Bucknell, it was Bridges who closed the door by scoring 14 of his 29 points during a nine-minute spurt in the second half that pushed the Spartans' lead from six to 14. Bridges will have to work on that balance again versus the Orange, whose zone doesn't have much room against which to drive but also doesn't give many open looks from the perimeter.[/FONT]
TIP-INS
[FONT="]1. Syracuse held TCU 31 points below its season average of 83 per game.[/FONT]
[FONT="]2. Winston recorded his fifth double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 assists against Bucknell.[/FONT]
[FONT="]3. The winner of this contest will advance to face either Duke or Rhode Island in the regional semifinals in Omaha, Neb. on Friday.[/FONT][/FONT]

[h=1]Preview: Texas A&M vs North Carolina[/h]When: 5:15 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Spectrum Center, Charlotte, North Carolina
[FONT="]Texas A&M will try to benefit from its height advantage when the seventh-seeded Aggies play second-seeded North Carolina in the second round of the West Region on Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. Texas A&M has an experienced starting front court that stands 6-10, 6-10, and 6-9 and helped the Aggies become the fifth-ranked rebounding team in the nation during the regular season, while North Carolina's tallest starters are 6-6, 6-8 and 6-8.
[FONT="]The defending national champion Tar Heels will counter with better team speed and perimeter shooting skills, assets they didn't rely on much during their 84-66 first-round win against Lipscomb on Friday. Luke Maye is one of the 6-8 starters for North Carolina, and he's also one of the most versatile players in college basketball, averaging 17 points and 10.1 rebounds while also converting 43.8 percent of his 3-point tries. Robert Williams will likely have the task of guarding Maye, and the 6-10 sophomore forward played a key role in the 73-69 win against Providence in the first round, finishing with 13 points and 14 rebounds while helping the Aggies enjoy a 44-26 rebounding edge. That matchup should open space in the paint for Texas A&M leading scorer Tyler Davis (14.5 points), the other 6-10 starter who had 14 points and 15 rebounds against Providence.[/FONT]
TV: [FONT="]5:15 p.m. ET, CBS[/FONT]
ABOUT TEXAS A&M (21-12): [FONT="]Sitting on the edge of a Sweet 16 appearance is nothing new for Davis and three other members of the Aggies; DJ Hogg, Admon Gilder and Tonny Trocha-Morelos, who played key roles for Texas A&M in its run to the regional semifinals two years ago. Hogg is a 6-9 forward who leads the Aggies in 3-point attempts, Gilder is a 6-4 guard who is second on the team in scoring at 12.4 points a game, and Trocha-Morelos is a 6-10 backup center who plays 22.2 minutes a game. Another player the Tar Heels need to find on the floor is freshman guard T.J. Starks (9.7 points), who is averaging 15.8 points over the last 10 games.[/FONT]
ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (26-10): [FONT="]Joel Berry II also averages a team-high 17 points for the Tar Heels, but the 6-0 senior point guard hasn't bettered that mark in his past six games. He'll certainly be looking to shoot the ball better inside Spectrum Center after converting 6-of-15 from the floor against Lipscomb, including 2-of-9 from 3-point distance. Berry might look to distribute more off the drive against Texas A&M and attempt to counter their shot-blocking ability, but he hasn't been doing a lot of distributing lately, averaging just 3.3 assists in his past 11 games.[/FONT]
TIP-INS
[FONT="]1. North Carolina is 34-1 in NCAA Tournament games played in its home state. The only loss was in 1979.[/FONT]
[FONT="]2. The Tar Heels have won two of three all-time against Texas A&M. Their lone loss came in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 1980.[/FONT]

Preview: Nevada vs Cincinnati
When: 6:10 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee
Cincinnati not only got a win in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, it also watched the top-seeded team in its region fall in a stunning upset. The second-seeded Bearcats will try not to worry about the road ahead and instead focus on making it to the Sweet 16 when they face seventh-seeded Nevada on Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.
The top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, Virginia, fell late on Friday, making Cincinnati the top remaining seed in the South Region after it came alive late and pulled away from Georgia State in the first round for a 68-53 victory on Friday. "No matter what happens, we've had an unbelievable season," Bearcats coach Mick Cronin told reporters. "We're in a tournament right now. There's five games left to win it. And I think that's always been my mindset, no matter what our seed has been. As long as I'm honored to be the head coach at Cincinnati, to me, you enter a tournament to win it." The Wolf Pack are just happy to advance after overcoming a 14-point deficit and knocking off 10th-seeded Texas 87-83 in overtime. "I don't know how we won," Nevada coach Eric Musselman told reporters. "I mean, just the progress of where the program's come, you know, we made it here last year. We've grinded, you know, all of us hard since the beginning of the summer with a goal in mind, and that was try to advance."
TV: 6:10 ET, TNT
ABOUT NEVADA (28-7): Caleb Martin hit three of his four 3-pointers in overtime and Josh Hall scored 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting off the bench on Friday for the Wolf Pack, who won a game in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. "I want to win. Plain and simple, I just want to win," Hall told reporters. "Not only do I want to play good, but I want my team to play well. I want to advance. We didn't win last year. Winning this game was really big for us and shows we're a better team than last year and moving in the right direction. So, I just want to win." Nevada is trying to advance to the Sweet 16 for the second time in program history (2004).
ABOUT CINCINNATI (31-4): Senior Gary Clark did his part in the first round with 11 points and 13 rebounds and is trying to lead his team in his final chance at NCAA Tournament success. "In this game, we had to adjust," Clark told reporters. "In every game, that's how it's going to be. You've got to adjust to how the team's doing. Our adversity allows us to do that well. Being my fourth year, tell young guys to just enjoy it, live in the moment and not get too riled up about the crowd and all that. Just do what we've been doing all year." One of those young guys is sophomore guard Jarron Cumberland, who exploded for 27 points and 11 boards.
TIP-INS
1. Cincinnati is trying to advance to the regional semifinal for the first time since 2012.
2. Wolf Pack G Kendall Stephens needs one 3-pointer to tie former BYU G Jimmer Fredette (124, 2010-11) for the most in a single season in the Mountain West Conference.
3. Clark recorded four straight double-doubles to give him 13 on the season.

Preview: Clemson vs Auburn
When: 7:10 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Viejas Arena, San Diego, California
It’s been 15 years since Auburn made a trip to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, and even longer for Clemson. One of the droughts will end Sunday, when fifth-seeded Clemson and fourth-seeded Auburn square off in a Midwest Region second-round contest in San Diego.
Auburn is in the Tournament for the first time since 2003, when it made a run to the Sweet Sixteen as a No. 10 seed. The Tigers survived a scare in a 62-58 win over College of Charleston in their opener on Friday, forcing 21 turnovers to help overcome a lackluster offensive performance. Clemson hadn’t won a Tournament game since a First Four victory over Alabama-Birmingham in 2011, and it hadn’t reached the second round since making a trip to the Sweet Sixteen in 1997. Shelton Mitchell scored 23 points and Gabe DeVoe added 22 in the Tigers' 79-68 first-round victory over New Mexico State on Friday.
TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, TBS
ABOUT CLEMSON (24-9): Clemson entered the Tournament having lost two of three and five of its last eight, but it didn’t have much trouble with the Aggies in the first round. The starting backcourt trio of Marcquise Reed (15.9 points), DeVoe (13.5), and Mitchell (12.3) combined for 60 points, but Elijah Thomas (10.6, eight rebounds) was limited to six on 2-of-7 shooting despite grabbing 10 rebounds. The Tigers only attempted nine free throws against New Mexico State and likely will need to do a better job at getting to the line on Sunday in order to advance.
ABOUT AUBURN (26-7): The Tigers won the SEC regular-season title but stumbled a bit down the stretch, losing three of their last five going into the conference tournament, where they fell to Alabama in their first game. Their offensive struggles continued against the Cougars, as they shot below 40 percent for the fourth straight contest. Leading scorer Mustapha Heron (16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds) scored 16 points and Desean Murray (10.4, 6.8) recorded a characteristic 11 along with seven boards, but Bryce Brown (16 points) struggled to find his stroke, going 3-for-10 from 3-point range.
TIP-INS
1. Both teams are short on size after losing starting big men to injury during the season, as Clemson’s Donte Grantham tore his ACL in January while Auburn’s Anfernee McLemore broke his left leg the following month.
2. Clemson committed only eight turnovers against New Mexico State and improved to 17-0 when winning the turnover margin.
3. Heron needs one point to become the fifth player in Auburn history to reach the 1,000-point mark in two seasons.

2. Clemson committed only eight turnovers against New Mexico State and improved to 17-0 when winning the turnover margin.
3. Heron needs one point to become the fifth player in Auburn history to reach the 1,000-point mark in two seasons.
[h=1]Preview: MD Baltimore County vs Kansas State[/h]When: 7:45 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Spectrum Center, Charlotte, North Carolina
[FONT="]Maryland-Baltimore County returns to the court two days after pulling off the biggest upset in men's NCAA Tournament history as it takes on Kansas State in the second round of the South Region from Charlotte, N.C. Prior to Friday night, No. 16 seeds were 0-135 all-time against first seeds - they are now 1-135 after the 16th-seeded Retrievers beat No. 1 Virginia 74-54.
[FONT="]UMBC poured in 53 points in the second half on 67.9 percent shooting against the top-ranked Virginia defense that was allowing just 53.4 points per game before the tournament. Graduate student guard Jairus Lyles was simply unstoppable for the Retrievers, scoring 23 of his game-high 28 while playing through leg cramps in the second frame. No. 9 seed Kansas State got by eighth-seeded Creighton and did so with relative ease, 69-59, to advance to the second round. Junior guard Barry Brown led the Wildcats with 18 points and played strong defense on Marcus Foster, holding the star Bluejays guard to just five points on 2-of-11 shooting. [/FONT]
TV:[FONT="] 7:45 p.m. ET, truTV[/FONT]
ABOUT MARYLAND-BALTIMORE COUNTY (25-10):[FONT="] With the game tied 21-21 at the half, UMBC came out flying in the second, speeding up the tempo and dictating the pace of the game - something that almost no other team had done against the Cavaliers this season. Lyles was certainly the story of the second half but it was a true team effort that got the Retrievers through to the second round. Three other players finished in double digits (Joe Sherburne 14; Arkel Lamar 12; K.J. Maura 10) and UMBC had 16 assists on 26 made field goals while outrebounding Virginia 33-22. [/FONT]
ABOUT KANSAS STATE (23-11):[FONT="] Kansas State, playing without All-Big 12 First Team selection Dean Wade and his team-leading 16.5 points per game, knew it couldn't go basket for basket with Creighton's 10th-ranked offense so it put a focus on defense and held the Bluejays to a season low-tying 59 points on 33.8 percent shooting from the floor and 26.5 percent from the 3-point line. Wade suffered a stress fracture in his left foot in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals and hasn't been ruled out for Sunday but will be limited if he does play. Freshman guard Mike McGuirl stepped up offensively in Wade's absence, scoring a career-high 17 on 6-of-10 shooting and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.[/FONT]

[FONT="]1. UMBC finished second in the America East regular season and earned a tournament berth with an incredible last-second three by Lyles in the tournament championship win over Vermont. [/FONT]

[h=1]Preview: Florida State vs Xavier[/h]When: 8:40 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee
[FONT="]Xavier has routinely proved it possesses one of the best offensive teams in the country - something it displayed in its NCAA Tournament opener as well as the last time it faced Florida State. The top-seeded Musketeers attempt to end the ninth-seeded Seminoles' season in the second round of the West Region for the second straight year Sunday when they meet in Nashville, Tenn.
[FONT="]Riding 20-point performances from each of its top three scorers Friday, Xavier drained 11 3-pointers en route to setting a program record for most points in a NCAA Tournament game with its 102-83 victory over Texas Southern, marking the fourth time this season the nation's eighth-highest scoring team topped the century mark. The Musketeers enjoyed similar success exactly one year ago versus Florida State, shooting 55.6 percent from the field in a 91-66 rout of the Seminoles behind 29 points from Trevon Bluiett. Florida State recovered nicely from losing three of its previous four in the nightcap Friday, getting 42 points from its bench and holding a shorthanded Missouri squad to 32.7 percent from the field in a 67-54 win. "All season, our identity was the quality of our depth. We knew they were a little short on the bench, so we needed to attack them … we used that to our advantage," freshman forward Mfiondu Kabengele told reporters.[/FONT]
TV: [FONT="]8:40 p.m. ET, TNT[/FONT]
ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (21-11): [FONT="]Ten players scored during the Seminoles' 42-point first half, and all three of Florida State's double-digit scorers Friday came off the bench, marking the third straight game Florida State got at least 40 points from its reserves; over that same span, the bench is responsible for 58.4 percent of the team's offensive output. Kabengele (team-high 14 points, career-high tying 12 rebounds Friday), sophomore guard Trent Forrest (10 points, six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals) and junior guard PJ Savoy (12 points) led the change from Florida State's bench. Second-leading scorer Terance Mann (12.8 points), who needed to be helped back to the locker room in the second half after aggravating a first-half groin injury, is questionable for Sunday.[/FONT]
ABOUT XAVIER (29-5): [FONT="]J.P. Macura (12.7 points) moved into 19th place on the program's all-time scoring list and halted a four-game stretch where he failed to top his season scoring average Friday, going 11-of-16 from the field - including 5-for-6 beyond the arc - to finish with a career-high 29 points. Bluiett (19.6), who ranks second in Musketeers' history with 2,253 career points and buried three 3-pointers to run his season total to a school-record tying 104, topped the 20-point mark for the 20th time with 26 versus the Tigers. Kerem Kanter (10.8) tied his career high with 24 points despite playing only 20 minutes Friday; over the last 22 games, he has reached double figures in every game in which he has played more than 12 minutes.[/FONT]
TIP-INS
[FONT="]1. The winner of this contest will meet the winner of Saturday night's Gonzaga-Ohio State game in a Sweet 16 matchup in Los Angeles.[/FONT]

[h=1]Preview: Marshall vs West Virginia[/h]When: 9:40 PM ET, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Where: Viejas Arena, San Diego, California
[FONT="]There is no love lost between Marshall and West Virginia and the in-state rivals present perhaps the most tantalizing second-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament when they meet Sunday in the East Region in San Diego. The 13th-seeded Thundering Herd won their first-ever tournament game with an 81-75 upset of Wichita State on Friday, presenting them with a chance to meet a hated foe, although the initial reaction was to downplay the bitterness.
[FONT="]"Hell, I’m still celebrating this one. You’re off on the other one?" Marshall coach Dan D'Antoni told the media when asked of a matchup with the Mountaineers. "I have no idea. ... Let's enjoy this a little bit and we'll get ready for West Virginia and I really don’t have to worry. These are all gym rats. They're going to be ready to go when it's time to go." The two schools - separated by about 200 miles - played every year from 1977 through 2015 before the Mountaineers elected to end the annual clash in a somewhat contentious decision. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, who shot back at D'Antoni in 2014 when the latter suggested that the Mountaineers were planning to back out of the series because they were afraid, initially dodged questions about the renewal of the rivalry after his fifth-seeded team defeated Murray State 85-68 in the first round. "Can I say one thing?" he said later in the press conference. "I've got great respect for Danny and what he's done. He took over. They were down and I've got great respect for him since he's become the coach. ... This is not a Hatfields and McCoys thing. We have great relationships [between the] staffs."[/FONT]
TV:[FONT="] 9:40 p.m., TBS[/FONT]
ABOUT MARSHALL (25-10): [FONT="]Jon Elmore, who led Conference USA in scoring this season, scored 27 points in the win over Wichita State and has at least 22 in 12 of his last 14 games. Ajdin Penava, the league's Defensive Player of the Year, chipped in 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting to go along with three blocks as the Thundering Herd picked up their first postseason victory since the 1967 NIT, when D'Antoni was on the team. "I told them the beginning goal is to win the NCAA Tournament," D'Antoni said. "Wherever we get in the car driving down the road to that championship, when it stops we'll all get off and we'll be happy because we like who is in the car. We like the journey we're on. We're looking forward to the next leg, and I have confidence in these guys that they'll give you a real good ballgame and got a great chance to win."[/FONT]
ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (25-10):[FONT="] Senior Jevon Carter was a force in Friday's win with 21 points, eight assists, six steals and five rebounds while stifling Murray State star Jonathan Stark, and the Mountaineers' defensive stalwart will be a handful for Elmore. "I would be shocked if he didn't play that way," Huggins said of Carter's performance. "He plays that way all the time. He plays that way in open gym. But he's always done that." Freshman Teddy Allen produced his first double-digit scoring effort in a nine-game span with 16 points, while Sagaba Konate contributed 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocks for West Virginia, which is seeking a Sweet 16 berth for the third time in four years.[/FONT]
TIP-INS
[FONT="]1. West Virginia holds a 30-11 advantage in the all-time series, with wins in each of the last five meetings.[/FONT]
[FONT="]2. Carter is averaging 22 points over his last three NCAA Tournament games.[/FONT]
[FONT="]3. Thundering Herd G Jarrod West is the son of Jarrod West Sr., who played for West Virginia from 1994-98 and hit a 3-pointer in the closing seconds to stun second-seeded Cincinnati in the 1998 tourney.[/FONT][/FONT]
