No. 1 Virginia vs. No. 5 Auburn (6:09 PM, CBS): Virginia and Auburn play two very different styles.

Last Sunday, The Post published an explosive excerpt from ex-Met Ron Darling’s new book, “108 Stitches.” The team announcer/author wrote that during pivotal Game 3 of the 1986 World Series, his former teammate, noted bad boy Lenny Dykstra, tore into Red Sox pitcher Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd with a vitriolic, racist tirade so revolting he...

Whether you were rooting for your alma mater or the team you picked to win your work bracket, there’s a good chance they’re out by now, especially considering the somewhat surprising field of teams left standing.
