March Madness First Round - Weekend Games Thread

Texas upsets Gonzaga.
Gonzaga is an interesting program. On the one hand, Few has elevated them into a nationally prominent program that has been one of the most consistent winners over the past quarter-century. They consistently make the NCAA tournament every year. On the other hand, they have yet to break through and win a NCAA title in all that time, and despite all of their wins they frequently don't get as far in the tournament as their record would indicate they might, and they've only been to two Final Fours in the past quarter-century. Overall, though, their fans can't complain much about a program and coach that wins so consistently nearly every single year.
 
Fun facts about Arkansas and High Point: Both teams have been coached by a head coach who won a national championship at Kentucky (John Calipari and Tubby Smith) and both teams have been coached by a former Tulsa head coach (Nolan Richardson and Tubby Smith).
