Elsewhere in the bracket, No. 10 seed Virginia secured the first upset of the weekend by defeating No. 7 Georgia 82-73, marking a strong start for the lower seed.

NCAA Men's Tournament Surprise

The men's bracket delivered a stunning result as Texas managed to reach the Sweet 16 after beginning their journey in the First Four, eliminating the No. 3 seed Gonzaga squad with a 74-68 victory on Saturday. Despite this improbable run, coach Sean Miller cautioned against labeling his team a Cinderella story, asserting that the Longhorns earned their spot following their impressive performance against a highly-ranked opponent. This marks the first time in five years a First Four team has advanced this far into the tournament bracket.
