Duke`s Cooper Flagg leads the charge as shocking upsets shake the NCAA Tournament, with thrilling matchups ahead.

The NCAA Men`s Basketball Tournament has delivered thrilling surprises as the first round wraps up. Notably, No. 12 Colorado State pulled off a stunning upset against No. 5 Memphis, mirroring the earlier shocker of No. 12 McNeese defeating No. 5 Clemson. Meanwhile, top seed Duke showcased their dominance with a decisive victory, fueled by the return of star player Cooper Flagg.

No. 2 seeds Alabama and Michigan State also advanced, overcoming challenges from lower-seeded teams. Michigan State demonstrated their depth with a commanding win over Bryant, finishing at 87-62. However, the tournament was not without heartbreak, as No. 11 North Carolina fell to No. 6 Ole Miss in a tightly contested match, ending their run with a score of 71-64 after a valiant comeback attempt.

The SEC`s performance was mixed, boasting eight wins but also notable losses, raising questions about their overall strength in this year`s tournament. As the excitement builds for the second round, fans eagerly anticipate matchups like UConn against Florida and Duke facing Baylor, setting the stage for more unforgettable moments in March Madness.
