The NCAA tournament rolls on as the stage is set for drama in the men’s and women’s brackets

McNeese State’s win against Clemson was arguably the biggest story from the men’s round of 64.

The No. 12 seed Cowboys stunned the No. 5 Tigers to take home a 69-67 win in their opening game of this year’s tournament.

The two-point win was built around McNeese State’s first half defense which only allowed Clemson to score 13 points. The Cowboys took an 18-point lead into the halftime break which proved to be just enough as they held on to the win against the Tigers.

While McNeese State’s players are doing it on the court, arguably the most famous member of the program is sitting just behind the bench.

Amir Khan – the team’s student manager – has become famous for being the team’s most vociferous hype-man, rapping with the players and holding a boombox as they exit from the tunnel.

Khan’s antics have earned him the nickname “Aura” and during the Cowboys’ game against Clemson, the team’s cheerleaders are wearing socks with Khan’s face on them.

Purdue came through its round of 64 game with a win against the High Point Panthers.

While the Boilermakers weren’t at their best, 21 points from Trey Kaufman-Renn helped steer the team into this round of 32 matchup.

Can Purdue stop this Cinderella story from developing or will the viral sensations of McNeese State march on?
