Games I watched (some of):
(9) St. Louis 72-95 (1) Michigan
Good win for Michigan. St. Louis would have moments, but the Wolverines did well to keep their offense in check. The game was mostly closer than this, Michigan kinda ran off and left them in the last 10 mins. Michigan looks long and fast all over the court and they've got scoring off the bench, they're looking good.
(6) Louisville 69-77 (3) Michigan State
Louisville was gritty defensively just like Michigan State, but the Spartans still had more offense. Similar teams, I thought, but MSU knocked down shots better and were the better team.
(9) Texas Christian 58-81 (1) Duke
TCU hung for a little while but early in the 2nd half, Duke started getting buckets and TCU could not hang. Duke looked pretty strong here.
(11) Texas 74-68 (3) Gonzaga
I kept waiting for Gonzaga to take control but they never did. I wasn't that in on the Longhorns but they possessed and moved the ball well today and Gonzaga had no answer. Good win for Texas.
(5) Vanderbilt 72-74 (4) Nebraska
Fun game! Nebraska moves the ball and gets up good shots and here they made Vandy look positively slow and lumbering, which is bizarre because that's not who they are (they're more like Nebraska actually!). But after Vandy fell behind early, they re-grouped, came back and took the lead, forcing Nebraska to rally and get it done late. Back and forth but in long stretches, good game, shame to lose Vandy, because they were dangerous. This Nebraska is good, they know who they are and they get buckets.
(12) High Point 88-94 (4) Arkansas
Arkansas was the better team but they really struggled at closing out the game. Pesky High Point just would not go away, but Arkansas made plays and their ball handling guards are really good. This Razorback squad is gonna be a tough out.
Games I caught on the scoreboard ticker:
(10) Texas A&M 57-88 (2) Houston
(11) Virginia Commonwealth 55-76 (3) Illinois
