Xavier edges Notre Dame 67-63
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Tu Holloway kept attacking the paint and knocking down tough shots for Xavier throughout the second half. It's no surprise the senior guard came through with the basket to help the Musketeers advance in the NCAA tournament. Holloway banked in the go-ahead shot over Jack Cooley with 21.3 seconds left, helping Xavier rally to beat Notre Dame 67-63 on Friday night in the second ...
No. 2-seeded Kansas avoids upset trend with win over Detroit
OMAHA, Neb. - Kansas coach Bill Self hardly broached the topic of fellow No. 2 seed Missouri's upset loss to Norfolk State on Friday. He figured there was no need - his players already knew. He made sure to mention another No. 2 seed, Duke, also went down. "The Duke game was going on and there was 5 seconds left or 20 ...
USF shocks Temple 58-44
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - South Florida gave the Temple Owls an early preview of the Big East's grinding style, and the Bulls added another upset to the NCAA tournament.

Victor Rudd Jr. and Anthony Collins each scored 17 points, ...
Green records triple-double as Michigan State advances
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Draymond Green got on the phone earlier this week with a former Michigan State star. Magic Johnson must have told Green to play just like him.

Jackson's free throws lead Boilermakers past St. Mary's
OMAHA, Neb. - Having watched his team hang on against Saint Mary's after blowing a late double-digit lead, Purdue coach Matt Painter didn't point to a specific play that made the difference.

Ohio sends Michigan home with 65-60 victory
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Walter Offutt got a taste for what it was like to beat Michigan while he was at Ohio State. Clinching an upset win for Ohio over the Wolverines in the NCAA tournament is just a bit sweeter. Offutt, who ended up at Ohio by way of Wright State, grabbed a loose ball, was fouled by Evan Smotrycz and sank both of his free throws ...
Lehigh upsets No. 2 seed Duke
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Mike Krzyzewski knew this year's Duke team had its flaws. Several of them hurt the Blue Devils in a big way on Friday night. Austin Rivers and Mason Plumlee had 19 points apiece, but Duke struggled from 3-point range and lost 75-70 to Lehigh to become the second No. 2 seed to lose to a 15 during a wild day ...
Saint Louis uses defense to oust Memphis
COLUMBUS, Ohio - During his years away from coaching as an ESPN commentator, Rick Majerus figured he'd have the perfect forum to discuss how much fun defense is. Then he learned otherwise. He said he was told, "We're not going to show some guy in a defensive stance on SportsCenter." No problem. His team got to put on a ...

Zeller, North Carlonia ease past Vermont
GREENSBORO, N.C. - John Henson had a great seat on the North Carolina sideline to watch his teammates advance in the NCAA tournament. The question is how long the Tar Heels will have to win without him, not to mention if his sore left wrist will heal enough to make him a factor in March at all. Tyler Zeller had 17 points and ...
