The Viks win by the same margin, so the first round goes by with no upsets.

Idaho holds on to win by 4. MSU hit a couple threes in the final seconds, but there wasn't enough time left to give them a realistic chance.

Looks like NoCo will head to their first NCAA tournament as they lead by 20 early in the fourth. That's definitely good news for the Big Sky as UNC was projected as an 11-seed at last check.
