The 2024 Men’s NCAA Tournament continued in earnest with the true start of March Madness on Thursday afternoon. An upset win from Duquesne and a dominant victory from Michigan State headlined the first wave of games, with South Carolina and Oregon meeting in a highly anticipated Midwest Region matchup in Pittsburgh as part of the second wave. Dana Altman’s Ducks put together a strong first half effort, leading by five points at the break, but Oregon’s lead was on track to be larger before some fireworks just before the final buzzer.
