Everything that Thursday was, Friday morning was not. The day’s first session of 8 games was straight chalk: not only did every team from a major conference win, but (almost) every Vegas favorite did as well. That boded poorly for the Midwest and East, which are as loaded of regions as you’ll find.
But then the night came...and chaos reigned.

No. 6 Creighton and No. 11 NC State actually played a very competitive game. The Wolfpack simply didn’t have shots fall, and the Blue Jays did. NCSU had minimized turnovers, won the rebound battle, moved the ball well.
