Gamecocks win first NCAA Tournament game in 44 years

Good luck with the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils in the second round.

– The SEC was 1-1 on the first day of the NCAA Tournament with Florida beating East Tennessee State, 80-65, and Vanderbilt suffering an incomprehensible loss to Northwestern, 68-66, when a ‘Dores player mistakenly fouled a Wildcats player intentionally in the closing seconds even though Vandy led by a point.

No No. 16 seed has beaten a No. 1 seed since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. Could this be the region full of upsets like Sioux Falls and Lexington were previous year? So while this total makes sense given the Gamecocks pace of play, it looks a good notch or two too high for this bettor due to the way the play, not their pace of play.

It’s becoming a tradition for the North Carolina Tar Heels to prank freshman ahead of NCAA Tournament practices. They also made only three 3-pointers after hitting eight in the opening half. SC won all five games since the injury, but now the Gamecocks are without their huge size advantage and the absence puts more pressure on 6-5 junior A’ja Wilson to deliver and stay out of foul trouble. By that time, Staley was back in her seat, chin in her hand, watching with all the emotion a shark feels for its next meal.

Wesley Iwundu led Kansas State with 19 points.

The Severna Park native, in his third year as the Golden Eagles coach, believed his team had done enough to merit a spot in March Madness. The Golden Eagles connect on 43-percent of their three-point attempts and made three-pointers account for 38.1-percent of Marquette’s offensive output.

Marquette got smashed down the stretch, and let the score get away from them even worse than they probably should have let it get.

It’s been a while since both teams were last in the NCAA Tournament. Texas Southern has won nine consecutive games since February 13. “We talked about coming and doubling early”.

Johnson began to realize his potential last season, when he was voted the team’s most improved player.

“We’re really good at 3-point defense”, said Thornwell, who ranks fifth all-time at USC with 1,823 career points. Marquette’s guards can light it up on offense.

For our team, we have to shoot our bullets, and we need to go into the game not holding anything back. So it starts with Duane [Notice] guarding the ball. Or do the Tar Heels just have Cam Newton fever after watching the Carolina Panthers quarterback display his batch of flamboyant headgear during this past National Football League season? The Bulldogs had no chance against the size and athleticism of SC. In the SEC tournament title game against Mississippi State, Davis scored 23 points, including seven in the fourth quarter, far better than her 12.2-point average on the season. Cuevas-Moore, one of three Carolina players to reach double-figures in the first half, capped off her masterful defensive showing in the period with another steal and layup to send the Gamecocks into the locker room with a commanding 48-22 advantage. The 5-foot-8 senior is 10th nationally in scoring at 22.5 points a game, leads the Spartans with eight rebounds a game and is second on the team with almost five assists a game.
