There's something about the No. 4 seeds not being able to advance in the 2018 NCAA tournament. 

That was the case for Arizona who fell to Buffalo on the opening day of the tournament, and it proved to be the case again for No. 4 seed Wichita State who fell in a stunner against No. 13 Marshall. 

In Marshall's first appearance since 1987, Marshall sealed the deal with 36.2 remaining as they were up 78-75 with possession of the ball. They scored right off a time out taking the lead up to five and Wichita State wasn't able to recover as the Thundering Herd locked up an 81-75 victory.

The Thundering Herd had a strong 3-point game that simply couldn't be stopped by Wichita State's defense. Marshall shot 39 percent from the 3-point line compared to just 28 percent from Wichita State.

While Wichita State is out of the tournament, No. 7 seed Nevada just barely stayed alive and it wasn't without a big fight from No. 10 seed Texas as the game went into overtime.

Nevada walked away with an 87-83 victory after trailing much of the game and bounced back from a 14-point deficit in the second half. The overtime win came in large part due to senior guard Kendall Stephens who kept the Wolf Pack in the game with 22 points making all three of his free-throw attempts. Teammate Caleb Martin was unstoppable in overtime draining three triples.

The win marks the first time Nevada has won in the NCAA Tournament since 2007 (it was only its fifth tournament win in school history) while Texas has not won an NCAA Tournament game since 2014. The game also marks the first NCAA Tournament win for the Mountain West Conference since 2015. 

Around the tournament, there were not any other big upsets early in the day as No. 7 seed Texas A&M defeated No. 10 seed Providence 73-69 while No. 2 Purdue took down CSU Fullerton in a 74-48 blowout. No. 2 Cincinnati stayed alive beating No. 15 seed Georgia State 68-53. No. 2 North Carolina beat No. 15 Lipscomb 84-66 while No. 5 West Virginia blew away No. 12 Murray State 85-68.

Stud of the Day

Kamar Baldwin and Kelan Martin helped lead No. 10 Butler to a 79-62 win over No. 7 Arkansas. Baldwin scored 24 points with nine rebounds and five assists, while Martin added 27 points and nine more rebounds. The Bulldogs also caught a break when next round's opponent, Purdue, lost center Isaac Haas for the remainder of the tournament with a fractured elbow.

Dud of the Day

Witchita State sophomore guard Landry Shamet finished with 11 points, but he was 0 of 7 from behind the 3-point line. In a game where Marshall overwhelmed with 3-pointers, Shamet not being able to sink them in proved to hurt the Shockers.

Highlight

No. 7 seed Texas A&M closed out a 73-69 win over No. 10 seed Providence with one of the best dunks the tournament has seen yet. Sophomore forward Robert Williams pulled out all the stops with a windmill dunk in the last 40 seconds, securing the win and making the SEC 5-0 to begin the tournament.

After the game Williams told reporters, "I actually wanted to go through my legs with that one, but I didn't want coach to take me out."

What's Next

Virginia (31-2) vs. UMBC (24-10) 9:20 p.m. ET — For the third time in five seasons, Virginia earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but started the season unranked. Many have the Cavaliers winning the whole tournament, but it would shake up everyone's bracket if UMBC can pull off an upset. As unlikely as it seems since a No. 16-seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, UMBC is coming off an America East title where they knocked off No. 1 seed Vermont 65-62.
