Can These Cinderellas Keep Dancing?

Kate Yanchulis

The first round of the men's NCAA tournament is in the books, leaving millions of busted brackets in its wake. Of the 10 upsets in the first round, the biggest came when No. 15 Saint Peter's knocked off No. 2 Kentucky in an overtime shocker.

The Peacocks have the chance for another upset today when they face No. 7 Murray State, and No. 12 Richmond and No. 11 Michigan also look to reach the Sweet Sixteen. Plus, the first round of the women's NCAA tournament continues, and the SEC crowns its gymnastics champion. Here's what I'm watching.

MUST WATCH

Men's college basketball: No. 7 Murray State vs. No. 15 Saint Peter's

Trevor Ruszkowski/USA TODAY Sports

The first-round win by Saint Peter's (20–11) sent us all scrambling to search for the small school in Jersey City, which has less than 2,500 undergraduate students. The 85–79 overtime victory over Kentucky was the Peacocks' eighth in a row but their first ever in the NCAA tournament.

The team will look to become just the third No. 15 seed ever to advance to the Sweet Sixteen with a win against the Racers (31–2), who beat No. 10 San Francisco in their own first-round contest.

"Social media platforms should be made accountable because they are housing disinformation," Vice President and opposition leader Leni Robredo said in the debate.
