What looked like a repeat of Friday’s lackluster, ho-hum games, Saturday started off slow but really picked up as the sun went down on the first weekend of spring. Day three of the NCAA tournament came alive and delivered some quality action late.

A No. 1-seed went down, Kentucky did its thing but it took them a while to get there, hot takes were had and fun was had by all. So, in a nutshell, it was March Madness. What more could you expect?

As usual, we have breakdowns of the games from Saturday, including our Game of the Day and a preview of each game to be played on Sunday.
