Two words: It continues. Saturday’s first set of second round games provided more drama in the fashion of Northern Iowa defeating the number one overall seed Kansas. With the win, the Panthers advance to their first ever Sweet 16 appearance. Unfortunately, I did not pick this game as my upset of the day. I did…
