Everything you need for the NCAA Tournament heading into the weekend.

NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament-Greenville Practice Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

March Madness is in full swing now that the first full day of NCAA Tournament action has concluded.

Lucky for us, we get another one Friday as 16 more games are on deck. Thursday was wild fun, but it wasn't the upset-filled day we'd all hoped to see. Almost every higher-seeded team prevailed as the word 'upset' was rarely muttered. Perhaps that means Friday is when the real madness begins.

Here is the updated bracket along with all the scores thus far:

Here is everything you need for Friday's action, including odds and my picks for each matchup:
