From upsets like those pulled off by 12-seeds McNeese State and Colorado State to heart-pounding finishes such as Michigan vs. UC San Diego, the action has been frenetic. That energy will only pick up as the bracket progresses.

Laettner averaged 17.7 points per game in March Madness for his career, and his career low was a six-point showing as a sophomore in the round of 32. However, Laettner’s career-high was a 31-point performance as a senior in the Elite Eight. That game will forever be remembered for “The Shot” that Laettner hit to defeat Kentucky in overtime.
