Many brackets were busted in the opening weekend of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. A total of 13 lower seeds moved on in the first 2 rounds of the tournament.
But there is still a lot of firepower still alive as all 4 top seeds and all 4 No. 2 seeds made it to the Sweet 16. We lost a couple of 3-seeds and 2 more 4-seeds, but we have just 1 double-digit seed remaining as 11th-ranked NC State has made a run.
Of the 4 games slated for Thursday, there is 1 matchup that sticks out as the best underdog play.
