NCAA Tournament Schedule 2013: Highlighting Saturday's Most Intriguing Matchups

It's hard for the NCAA tournament to top the action of Thursday and Friday.

After Thursday got off to a subdued start, the Harvard Crimson were the saving grace. The school had never once won an NCAA tournament game, but knocked off a New Mexico Lobos team penciled into the Final Four by some.

Then came the No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast Eagles' upset of the No. 2 Georgetown Hoyas. That followed the 13th-seeded La Salle Explorers beating the fourth-seeded Kansas State Wildcats.

With fewer lower seeds in the round of 32, fans are unlikely to see the same kind of upsets on Saturday. They will, however, be treated to some very good basketball.

Here is the schedule for the next round's action, with the games to watch on Saturday.

Games to Watch

No. 6 Arizona vs. No. 14 Harvard, 6:00 p.m.

Can the Crimson possibly keep it up? They were the toast of the town on Friday night after their upset of the third-seeded Lobos. It would be a great story to have a Harvard team that lost its two best players before the season make the Sweet 16.

Standing in the Crimson's way are the Arizona Wildcats. They managed to handle a strong Belmont Bruins side with quite a bit of ease. The Wildcats really stifled what had been a very efficient Bruins offense. Arizona has the kind of talent to make a very deep run.

Mark Lyons had a very good game against Belmont, leading Arizona with 23 points. His senior leadership will be huge down the stretch. Should the Wildcats find themselves in a dogfight, it's up to Lyons to keep his team composed.

No. 4 Saint Louis vs. No. 12 Oregon, 7:00 p.m.

Both of these teams looked very strong in the round of 64. The Saint Louis Billikens easily dispatched the New Mexico State Aggies, 64-44, while the Oregon Ducks knocked off the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 68-55. It's a bit of a shame that the Billikens and Ducks have to match up already.

Saint Louis has been underrated all season. The Atlantic 10 was a very competitive conference, and it's a major accomplishment that the Billikens won both the regular season and postseason conference titles.

Meanwhile, most fans and experts could see the Ducks were much better than their 12 seed would have you think. They won the Pac-12 tournament title and are on an extremely hot run right now.

No. 1 Gonzaga vs. No. 9 Wichita State, 8:30 p.m.

Few winners were as disappointing as the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the round of 64. Despite facing the 16th-seeded Southern Tigers, the Zags were only able to win by six points. Gonzaga is a good team but has a lot to prove this tournament.

The Wichita State Shockers, on the other hand, looked great in their second-round win over the Pittsburgh Panthers by a score of 73-55. The Shockers held Pitt to only 1-of-17 from the three-point line. Give credit to Wichita State for getting to the free-throw line 41 times and making it 33 times.

This is a great test for the Bulldogs. They really need to come out of this game with a convincing result. For the Shockers, this would be a huge victory for the program.
