Editor's note: Follow all of the men's March Madness action, scores and highlights here with USA TODAY Sports' live coverage.
Sunday's NCAA Tournament action for the men continues with eight second-round games that will help determine the Sweet 16. In case you missed it late Saturday, in double overtime No. 3 seed Creighton finally hit its shots and avoided an upset by beating No. 11 seed Oregon 86-73. No. 3 seed Illinois coasted past No. 11 seed Duquesne, 89-63, and into the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005. Gonzaga's Mark Few continued his incredible run with another Sweet 16 appearance, leading the Bulldogs past Kansas.
Looking ahead to Sunday's games: We could see some giant-killers reprise their roles as James Madison, Grand Canyon and Yale are all back in action after pulling off upsets in the first round.
