PrintPreview and schedule after the jump.
As Sunday of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament dawns, four Big Ten teams remain in the mix and will hit the court for second round action Sunday. Both Ohio State and Michigan State received boosts Saturday when the top seen in their region, Kansas, lost to Northern Iowa.
Elsewhere, Purdue no longer has Villanova to contend with in its bracket if it can get past Duke after the Wildcats dropped a good one to St. Mary's early Saturday afternoon.
The Big East has now lost four of its eight teams to double-digit seeds, and five teams overall. Pitt, Syracuse, and West Virginia are the lone holdouts from the uber-hyped league that's been battered badly in this tournament, and will be in action today as well.
Here is your Sunday schedule.
Midwest
Georgia Tech vs. Ohio State, 2:20 P.M.
Michigan State vs. Maryland, 2:30 P.M.
West
Gonzaga vs. Syracuse, 12:10 P.M.
Xavier vs. Pittsburgh, 4:50 P.M.
East
Missouri vs. West Virginia, 2:40 P.M.
Cornell vs. Purdue, 2:50 P.M.
South
Texas A&M vs. Purdue, 5:00 P.M.
California vs. Duke, 5:15 P.M.
With several games tipping off in the 2 and 5 P.M. hours, don't forget the CBS March Madness On Demand video player to help you track all the action.

Great finish to that one
It’s a shame I’ve been stuck with the Cornell-Wiscy blowout.
Also, anyone else think a second round match-up between Wiscy and Temple would have been a great game? Seeing how both got blown out by that Ivy League team.

I am officially rooting for cornell to win the championship at this point

I have a basketball question
Why is it that when a team is obviously going to intentionally foul a player, that player doesn’t at least fake like he’s going to take a shot (even if it’s a long 3). Wouldn’t that occasionally let the player being fouled get some FT’s, b/c it would be a shot foul at that point? Seems like if you know they’re going to foul you and the guy’s pulling on your jersey, just pull up and take a shot… Why don’t they do that?
Do you want the mustache on, or off?
Too bad.
well
if you are pulling on the jersey, it would be too late at that point to throw up the shot. If you pretend to shoot before getting fouled, you might not get fouled, and be forced to throw up a long distance 3 for no reason

True
While this is completely true, the rule for shooting free throws technically doesn’t have anything to do with shooting, even though that’s how it always gets called. A player is supposed to shoot “shooting” free throws when a player draws a foul in the air, regardless of any perceived intention to shoot.
I’m a basketball ref (for HS games in Ohio) and it’s little misperceptions about rules like this that bother me.
Reach out; touch faith.
Well then
Let’s say the player jumps in teh air hoping to draw the foul (scottie reynolds anyone?) However, he doesn’t draw contact. Now he is forced to throw the ill advised shot up. I believe that is why players don’t fake like they are going to shoot

Can we hire Matt Painter?
Purdue is the best coached team I’ve seen all year.

I'd settle for Gene Keady

I love Keady, but he's not aged as gracefully as JoePa.
If we hired him, he’d spend games sitting on his chair and mumbling about the officials.
