March Madness scores, results: Yale's upset of Auburn highlights NCAA men's tournament Day 2 action
The Madness continued Friday with a full slate of action on the men's side as the field was trimmed to 32 teams.
The early window was pretty well chalk before a wild finish to Colorado-Florida and Yale-Auburn late in the afternoon. Colorado knocked off Florida with a last-gasp corner jumper that rattled around the rim and then Yale stunned Auburn in the tournament's biggest upset so far — and that all happened in a matter of minutes.
