Sixteen games down, 16 games left in the first round.

Other interesting games include the 7-10 matchup between USC and Miami; the 6-11 matchup between Alabama and Notre Dame, winners of Wednesday’s First Four matchup; 6-seed Texas and 11-seed (and ACC champion) Virginia Tech and more.
Whether those games (and more) can live up to the opening day of the 2022 NCAA Tournament remains to be seen. That said, there’s a reason it’s called March Madness.
With that, The Sporting News is tracking live scores, results and highlights from Friday’s Round 1 action. Follow along below:
