This is the best thing you will watch today.

“I thought it was one of the more complete games we’ve played." A strong first-half set the tone for a 25-point win for Michigan State in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday. @PickinSplinters pickinsplinters.com/2026/03/19/str…

@MarchMadnessMBB @PickinSplinters HALFTIME: MICHIGAN: 50 HOWARD: 46 Howard ends the half 7-0 run capped off by a Bryce Harris buzzer beater. Cam Gillus leads the way with 12 points shooting 4-4 from three. For Michigan, Nimari Burnett leads the way with 10 while Roddy Gayle Jr follows with nine off the bench.

Batavia Notre Dame 73 Stamford/Jefferson 57 Final 24 minutes of dominance & a three-quarter heater gave the @SecVGBasketball reps all the separation they could possibly ask for. S/J’s last gasp gave them late life & trimmed a 24 point game all the way down to 8, but ND buttoned up at the finish to extend their trip another night to the Class D state championship game. Sofia Falleti was tremendous & dropped a 30 ball in the win & Quinn Boardman added 19 big ones in the win. Tierney Turner went off for 26 for S4 champ S/J to close a historic season. Game 3 ✔️

@MarchMadnessMBB @PickinSplinters Michigan 34-29 with 6:18 to go in the first half. Roddy Gayle Jr leads the way with 9 points but Howard is staying in it shooting 58% (7-12) from 3. @MarchMadnessMBB @PickinSplinters
