With everyone recovering over the weekend from Thanksgiving, the NCAA DI Tournament returns with Round of 16 action to provide entertainment.

Seven of the 16 seeded teams in the tournament have been eliminated already during the second round, as upsets swept across the national landscape. While everyone from No. 1 Wake Forest to No. 7 Michigan State remain safe, big names fell such as No. 8 Clemson, No. 11 Virginia, No. 12 Notre Dame and No. 13 Michigan. Also going down to unseeded opposition were No. 14 Georgetown, No. 15 Dartmouth, and No. 16 VCU.
