Raiders’ No. 36 Dilemma: Schrager’s Mock Sparks Trade-Up Talk and Defensive Tweaks

The article analyzes Peter Schrager’s two-round mock drafts and how they could shape Las Vegas at No. 36: a potential trade-up for a high-value defensive prospect like Kayden McDonald if he slides into the late 20s, concerns about finding a reliable No. 2 receiver in round two, and a slate of possible 2nd-round targets (nose tackle/defensive linemen, cornerbacks) with luxury options like Keldric Faulk as fits; absent a trade-up, Raiders could land players such as Lee Hunter or Christen Miller to address interior line needs.

Wingspan defense and big-name exits reshape the second round

Michigan’s length anchored a defense-first second round victory over Saint Louis, while late-game drama and standout performances—like Vanderbilt guard Tyler Tanner’s 27 before a near-miss—highlighted the night. Illinois produced a rim-rocking, high-energy showing; Iowa, under Ben McCollum’s leadership, edged Florida in a bruising grind; Kansas suffered a shocking exit to St. John’s as Bill Self faces a program in transition; Arkansas’ Darius Acuff Jr. erupted for 36 to push High Point aside, and Cinderella stories appear to be fading as power programs advance toward the Sweet 16.

Cyclone Defense Rolls in Second Half as Iowa State Routs Kentucky 82-63

Kentucky’s season ends with an 82-63 NCAA Tournament second-round loss to No. 2 seed Iowa State in St. Louis, collapsing after an early 20-9 lead as the Wildcats’ 20 turnovers fueled 25 Cyclone points. Iowa State, despite missing star Joshua Jefferson, pulled away in the second half, outscoring UK by 18, with Lipsey posting 26 points and 10 assists and Momcilovic adding 20. Oweh contributed 18 and eight rebounds for UK, but the Wildcats were unable to overcome the turnovers and foul trouble, delivering Kentucky’s worst NCAA Tournament loss since 1972.

Purdue advances to Sweet 16 as Iowa State copes with Jefferson absence, per live updates

Live March Madness updates: Iowa State will play Kentucky with star forward Joshua Jefferson out due to an ankle injury, a major setback for ISU, while Kentucky is riding momentum from an overtime win over Santa Clara. In the other marquee game, Purdue defeated Miami 79-69 to reach the Sweet 16, with Fletcher Loyer pouring in 24 points; CJ Cox left with a knee injury and is questionable to return as Purdue opened the second half on a 9-0 run. Miami’s physical, rebounding style provided a challenge, and a preview noted the Purdue–Miami matchup favoring Purdue’s size and shooting. Chip Patterson had Miami +7.5 as the pick, with Purdue leading 47-45 at 15:19 to go in the second half.

Maize Meets Billikens in a High-Stakes NCAA Second Round Showdown

No. 1 seed Michigan heads to Buffalo to face No. 9 Saint Louis in a Second Round matchup after routing Howard. Saint Louis enters with elite 3-point shooting (40.2% by the article) and a tempo around 71.2, offering a test with perimeter firepower and dribble-hand-off actions. Michigan’s expected edge comes from a stronger frontcourt and transition game, but the Wolverines must guard shooters and avoid turnovers to advance; tip is Saturday at 12:10 p.m. ET on CBS.
