The NCAA tournament has a way of veering in a direction you don’t expect, at the moment that you least expect it. On Friday, University of Maryland, Baltimore County pulled off the most improbable upset in this event’s history, the same year that a different No. 16 seed, Ivy League champion University of Pennsylvania, was touted as a threat to knock off No. 1 Kansas. Instead, the Jayhawks beat back the Quakers with relative ease in the first round, winning 76–60 after getting off to a slow start. And on Saturday, head coach Bill Self’s group was one of a host of high-major heavyweights to move on to the second weekend.
