The second round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament is rolling along on Sunday as we’re treated to 12 more hours of college basketball action. Scores will constantly change and schedules will eventually update. This is the best place to keep up with everything going on as the Sweet 16 approaches.
Marquette and Colorado will start things at 12:10 p.m. ET on CBS, where Golden Eagles coach Shaka Smart will be trying to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011. Yes, it’s really been that long. Even though Smart has coached in nine of the previous 11 NCAA Tournaments, he hasn’t made it to the second weekend since taking VCU to the Final Four in 2011. But that should change Sunday considering Marquette is a 4.5-point favorite. As always, we’ll see.
The Game of the Day isn’t obvious — but I’m partial to Purdue-Utah State. That’s a 2:40 p.m. ET tip on CBS between two outright conference champions from leagues that each got six bids to the NCAA Tournament. You don’t get this kind of stuff in the Round of 32 too often, and I’m expecting a competitive game even if the Boilermakers are 11.5-point favorites, which is the byproduct of the predictive metrics never loving Utah State in a way that correlates with the accomplishments of Danny Sprinkle’s team. Big Ten Player of the Year Zach Edey on one side, Mountain West Player of the Year Great Osobor on the other. Awesome stuff.
