The Story: That was one heck of a first day! While there were a few mid-seed shockers, nearly all the higher seeds won. A pair of top level NBA talents were sent home though as both Trae Young and the Sooners and DeAndre Ayton and the Wildcats were knocked out of the tournament.
Day two has some great potential NBA players, including (in order of game time):
- Robert Williams, Texas A&M (12:15 PM, EDT)
- Jacob Evans, Cincinatti (2:00 PM, EDT)
- Daniel Gafford, Arkansas (3:10 PM, EDT)
- Mohamed Bamba, Texas (4:30 PM, EDT)
- Khyri Thomas, Creighton (6:50 PM, EDT)
- Jaren Jackson, Jr., Michigan State (7:10 PM, EDT)

Enjoy the day.
