One round down, one to go in the 2022 NCAA Tournament's opening week. And if Saturday's action is anything like the opening day of competition, there's yet more madness in store.
Saturday's slate of games sees the number halved from the opening two days of competition: 16 to eight. It includes second-round matchups that some expected (1-seed Baylor vs. 8-seed North Carolina), some that may be surprising but were otherwise not outside the realm of possibility (3-seed Tennessee vs. 11-seed Michigan) and, of course, some that nobody expected (hello, 7-seed Murray State vs. 15-seed Saint Peter's).

In all, four teams with double-digit seeds advanced to the second round from the opening day of games: 11-seed Michigan, 12-seed Richmond (in a controversial win over 5-seed Iowa), 12-seed New Mexico State and, in a shocker over Kentucky, 15-seed Saint Peter's (feel free to read up on the Peacocks here).
Will any of those teams continue their already-impressive March Madness runs? Or will order prevail as the higher-seeded teams move onto the Sweet 16? Only time will tell, but history suggests to keep your eyes peeled for the next big upset.
