The men's tournament began the second round as the women's tournament concluded the first round on Saturday.
While the day lacked in upsets, it delivered with starpower. On the women's side, Caitlin Clark made her tourney debut and nearly recorded a triple-double. On the other side of the bracket, UConn's Paige Bueckers made her triumphant return to the tournament after two years away due to injury. Freshmen phenoms JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo also made their tourney debuts with monster performances.
On the men's side, UNC, Arizona, and Tennessee all rolled while tourney darling Jack Gohlke and Oakland were sent packing by No.
