The men's first round continues Saturday; follow along as SI keeps you updated as the Round of 32 gets set.
Day 1 of the 2021 men's NCAA tournament is in the books, and it featured just the ninth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2, the only Indiana-based team in the tournament losing, Rutgers and Oregon State winning their program's first NCAA tourney games since the 1980s and more. What will Day 2 bring, as the remaining 16 games of the first round are settled?
