Setting up the Elite 8
On Thursday, the East Region started off with Kansas State taking down Michigan State in overtime, 98-93. The offensive shootout saw both teams shoot nearly 50% from the field or higher. Wildcats guard Markquis Nowell injured his foot early in the second half, but was able to play through it and finished with 20 points and 19 assists (a new single-game NCAA tournament record for assists.)
Florida Atlantic had a second-half surge to upset Tennessee, 62-55. The Volunteers struggled to shoot the ball efficiently throughout the night making 33.3% of their shots from the field.
In the West Region, UConn took care of Arkansas early and finished with a 88-65 victory. The Huskies defense held the Razorbacks to just 31.7% field goal shooting and just 7 assists on 20 field goals made. UConn has held all three opponents to under 40% field goal shooting.
Gonzaga also had a second-half comeback to win 79-76 against UCLA. A long field goal drought for over 10 minutes late in the game ultimately cost the Bruins, even after having a huge surge in the final minutes. Bulldogs forward Drew Timme led the team with 36 points and 13 rebounds.
On Friday night, Alabama, favorites to win the NCAA tournament heading into the Sweet 16, were upset by San Diego State, 71-64. Aztecs guard Darrion Trammell was a spotlight on offense with both teams struggling to score efficiently. He led all scorers with 21 points.
Also in the South Region, Creighton was able to put an end to 15-seeded Princeton’s run, 86-75. The Tigers had two players that scored a combined 50 points, but it wasn’t enough for an Elite 8 berth.
In the Midwest Region, another 1 seed was taken down. Houston wasn’t able to keep up with Miami’s offense, ultimately falling 89-75. All five starters for the Hurricanes scored double-digit points, with guard Nijel Pack leading the team with 26 points.
Xavier struggled against Texas in an 83-71 defeat that was controlled by the Longhorns. Texas hit over 52% of their field goal attempts and also made 7 of their 12 3-point shots. Longhorns guard Tyrese Hunter led the team with 19 points and made all three 3-point attempts.
