NCAA Bracket 2016: Providence to play USC in East Region

The Friars (23-10) finished fourth in the Big East and reached the semifinals of the conference's postseason tournament. USC is led by sophomore guard Jordan McLaughlin with 13.4 ppg and 4.7 apg.

When USC was selected for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday, it was somewhat anti-climatic because, like many teams, the Trojans were aware of a leaked bracket via twitter.

Still, the Friars have a chance to make some noise behind standout guard Kris Dunn, a native of New London, Conn., who many consider a potential lottery pick and the top point guard entering this year's draft. They aren't quite that good, but they also aren't quite as bad as they played in the Big East either. Ben Bentil, a 6-foot-9 forward, scored 38 points against Butler on Friday in the Big East Tournament. The NCAA tournament sometimes comes down to NBA-type talent and star players. The fact that he was overlooked by a school that's located not too far from where he grew up should provide him with an endless amount of motivation for a PC program that is looking to win its first NCAA game, since March 1997.

Mitt Romney says he will not run for president
On Twitter , the top-tweeted moment of the debate came when Trump defended his online education company, Trump University. To which Trump replied that "I have never seen a successful person that doesn't have some degree of flexibility".

Enfield was then hired by USC.

Enfield's last appearance earned him the USC job, but success was invisible his first two seasons in Los Angeles when he compiled a 23-41 record.

The winner will play Saturday against the winner of the game between top- seeded North Carolina and the winner of Tuesday's First Four game between Florida Gulf Coast and Fairleigh Dickinson.

Syrian war creates child refugees and child soldiers
The report notes the various ways that children are impacted by the conflict, and offers five critical steps for protecting them. At least 400 Syrian children died in 2015 and 500 more were maimed in cases verified by UNICEF.

The USC Trojans are back in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011. That season, USC narrowly made the field and lost in the First Four to VCU, which went on an underdog run all the way to the Final Four.

The Trojans are 12-18 all-time in the NCAA Tournament, and their last win came in the opening game in 2009.

The No. 8 seeding is the Trojans' highest since 2008 when they were the sixth seed in the Midwest Regional, losing to Kansas State. Colorado (22-11, 10-8), which finished a game ahead of USC and Oregon State, was the eighth seed.

NCAA looking into 'serious matter' of leaked tournament bracket
Apparently, the Golden Hurricane passed the eye - or some other - test to become the tournament's most-unexpected at-large team. It's unfortunate that some teams had to be left out this year, while others got in, despite it making no rhyme or reason.
