2025 Men’s NCAA Tournament live updates: Best moments from Friday of March Madness



March Madness is just getting started!

After a thrilling first day of hoops in the Round of 64 on Thursday, Friday shapes up to bring even more exciting basketball. Eighth-seeded Mississippi State and ninth-seeded Baylor begin the day at 12:15 p.m. ET. The winner of that game will likely take on No. 1 seed Duke on Sunday. The Blue Devils are expecting National Player of the Year co-favorite Cooper Flagg back in the lineup for Friday’s game after he missed the last two contests due to an ankle injury.

Florida is the other No. 1 seed that’s in action on Friday. No. 2 seeds Alabama and Michigan State will also begin their tournament runs. 

UConn, meanwhile, is trying to make history this spring. The eighth-seeded Huskies take on ninth-seeded Oklahoma at 9:25 p.m. ET, as they seek to become the first team to win three straight national titles in over 50 years.

Here are all the top moments from Friday’s games!
