Got a late start tonight so we'll have a quick recap of the action.
Belmont is giving Duke everything can they handle and are only down seven at the half.
Winthrop and Washington State are tied at the half. No big surprise that this has turned out to be a big defensive battle. Kyle Weaver and Aron Baynes have been carrying the offensive burden for the Paloose.
BYU has mounted a comeback after being held scoreless for the first six minutes. They are down 24-16 with 4 to play.
The nation has discovered that four other players are on the floor for Kansas State besides Michael Beasley. Bill Walker and bench player Ron Anderson have been the studs for the Wildcats. Taj Gibson has three no-nos for the Trojans while O.J. Mayo has struggled from the floor. K-State up 37-27 at the half.
Greg Paulus, the J.R. Ewing of college hoops, puts Duke up eight and hits double figures.
Davon Jefferson scores for Southern Cal and gets Beasley's third foul in the process. The men of Troy needed that.
BYU has come back to tie Texas A&M at 29 to end the half. If their threes start falling and uberfan Donny Osmond blinds the Aggies with his pearly whites it would be a heck of a comeback for the Cougars.
Taj Gibson just missed picking up his fourth whistle but Walker charged.
Mayo, with a hand in his face, cuts the deficit to six.
Now Gibson gets his fourth and fouls on a Beasley score. Tim Floyd will need to do a heck of a coaching job the rest of the way.
Belmont has cut the lead to one. Justin Hare just drained a trey.
Beasley might foul everybody out at this rate. He should be the first overall pick in June.
USC is trying to do the playground thing too much. They missed an alley-oop to Davon Jefferson that wasn't there. But Dwight Lewis just cut the lead to two.
Mayo could put USC up. So much for the playground ball. When Southern Cal plays smart they could be very tough.
Much more competitive in the nighttime sessions. Belmont up by two with 11 left, Wazoo up by seven, and A&M-BYU are tied at the half.
Up and down in the USC game. Lewis just drove in for a layup. Then Beasley goes in for another three-point opp. I know you're shocked.
Dwight Lewis has bought the Trojans back. He's had a couple threes and a near steal which caused Walker to get his third.
The first blowout is taking place with Washington State up by 17. Somewhere John Candy is singing the fight song.
USC is rushing their shots and Ron Anderson is having the game of his life.
Belmont only down by three with six minutes left.
Washington State has outscored Winthrop 25-4 in the second half.
BYU is up by one with 14 minutes left.
Alex Renfroe has another big shot for Belmont, who is now down only one with 4 1/2 to play.
Gerald Henderson lays it up. Now he looks winded as he is trying to win this single-handedly. But Belmont is taking some quick 3s. Now the Bruins are down three with 2:44 to play.
USC has cut the lead to five. WSU is being mean to Winthrop (36-5 in the second half). A&M and BYU tied at 43.
K-State just hit a three and are now up by nine. Now up by 11. My first Sweet 16 team is likely out.
