Harvard freshman point guard Siyani Chambers knows.
After narrowly avoiding a historic 16-over-1 upset in their opening game, the Gonzaga Bulldogs will look to avoid being shocked by Wichita State on Saturday night.
After stifling the No. 8 Pittsburgh Panthers in the second round, No. 9 Wichita State arrives in the round of 32 with designs on toppling the No. 1 seed in the West Region. Can the Shockers topple the Zags or has Mark Few’s team learned from its close call against Southern?
Completing the slate of Saturday games, No. 4 Syracuse faces No. 12 Cal. This game may be in the East Region of your bracket but it’s being played in San Jose, Calif.
