Nearly every year there’s at least one lovable underdog that rises from obscurity in the NCAA Tournament to capture the hearts of basketball fans and bust their brackets.

Alabama thundered past Saint Mary’s 80-66 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

All-America guard Mark Sears scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half and second-seeded Alabama pulled away late to escape 15th-seeded Robert Morris 90-81 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The hopes of No. 1 seed Houston of cutting down the NCAA Tournament nets might rest on J’Wan Roberts’ ailing right ankle.

March Madness brackets have been revealed.

Robert Morris coach Andrew Toole stood next to the staging area near midcourt Tuesday night, the confetti strewn around him as the Colonials danced, mingled with fans and climbed ladders to cut down the nets.

The Big East Conference and the Big South conference join the ranks of those throwing up a stop sign on fall sports. Liberty is an associate member of the Big East in field hockey, so they are directly affected. Meanwhile, delaying Big South football impacts VMIs 2020 fall schedule. The Keydets were set to take on Robert Morris, a first year member of the Big South on September 5th in Moon Township, Pennsylvania in their opener. The Colonials announced they have suspended their fall season, despite being given the option by the conference to play 4 non-conference games this fall at their discretion.
