Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve discuss the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball tournament, highlighting key games and matchups.

SVP and Stanford Steve are back to discuss the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball tournament from all angles. The first round had its moments, especially Thursday, including a close one for Duke against Siena.

Plus, more on Tennessee's win over Virginia, Alabama's dominant victory over Texas Tech, Texas' Sweet 16 run, Purdue's resurgence, Arkansas' path, the heavyweight battle between Houston and Illinois, and the loaded East Region.
