đ Virginia is for lovers and Cinderellas! No. 10 seed Virginia made history by outlasting No. 2 Iowa in double overtime, becoming the first team to play in the First Four and also reach the Sweet 16. They weren't alone in the upset business, Notre Dame knocked off Ohio State on the road, while Louisville, Minnesota, and Kentucky all survived by a single point, and TCU needed overtime to advance. As for the No. 1 seeds? No mercy. UConn, UCLA, Texas, and South Carolina won their second-round games by an average of 38.5 points. The Sweet 16 continues Friday through Monday. Good luck with whatever's left of your bracket.
