The first full day of the 2021 NCAA Tournament didn't disappoint, as the college basketball world witnessed a plethora of upsets. Hopefully, we'll see more of the same during the second half of the Round of 64.
While there were plenty of upsets on Friday, none were more surprising than No. 15 Oral Roberts knocking off No. 2 Ohio State. Max Abmas and Kevin Obanor led the way for the Golden Eagles, combining for 59 points.
It was a rough day in general for the Big Ten, as the Purdue Boilermakers lost to the North Texas Mean Green in overtime. That was arguably the second-biggest upset that took place on Friday.
Fortunately for college basketball fans, we have yet another full state of action set for this Saturday. We'll get to see the top seed in the tournament, Gonzaga, begin its quest for a national title.
