Dwayne Evans scored 24 points on11-16 shooting Thursday as the fourth-seeded Saint Louis Billikens blew out the 13-seeded New Mexico State Aggies, 64-44, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

The win was the fifth straight for the Billikens, who came into the tournament as winners of the Atlantic 10 Tournament last week in Brooklyn.

With its win on Thursday, Saint Louis advanced to play Oregon on Saturday in the third round. The Ducks defeated Oklahoma State to pull off the first of two 5-12 upsets by Pac-12 teams on the day. That game time has not yet been announced. The winner will move on to Indianapolis where they would be on track to face the Louisville Cardinals in the Sweet 16.

Louisville earned its spot in the third round by dominating North Carolina A&T Thursday afternoon, while elsewhere in the Midwest region, Michigan State blew out Valparaiso. The Spartans will play Memphis next, who barely held off a relentless Saint Mary's team.

Here's a look at the updated bracket, with more second round games still left to play.

The NCAA Tournament has technically been underway for a couple of days with play-in games, in the first round, taking place in Dayton, Ohio. With the field whittled down to 64 teams, there's still a little time to fill out your printable bracket if you want to participate in a pool or even just keep track of it on your own.

Here's a link to the printable bracket.

Everything gets underway at 12:15 p.m. ET when Michigan State takes on Valparaiso in Lexington, Ky. With 16 games tipping on Thursday, two number-one seeds will begin their run for the national championship. Gonzaga will head south to Salt Lake City and face Southern at 4:10 p.m. ET while Louisville will have to travel a significantly shorter distance to Lexington to take on North Carolina A&T at 6:50 p.m. ET.

Perhaps the tournament's most controversial match-up tips at 7:27 p.m. ET in San Jose when UNLV takes on California. Not only is this a re-match from the regular season, Cal will only have to travel a short distance as the lower seed meaning it could essentially be a home game.
