NCAA Tournament- Kansas Region Second Round, Part 2

Now we feature the bottom half of the Kansas Region, and the game of the pod.

(11) Tennessee vs. (6) Georgetown -- Georgetown lead 32-25 at halftime, but the Vols kept rallying, taking their first lead of the second half, 41-40. The game stayed close the rest of the way, bringing us to a dramatic final 12 seconds of regulation. With the Hoyas down 3, Markel Starks hit a three pointer to tie the game at 71. Tennessee held for the last shot, but Jordan McRae shot too soon, missing a jumper with 2 seconds left. Georgetown got the rebound and got it to halfcourt, calling a timeout with 1 second left. The ensuing inbounds pass was stolen by Jarnell Stokes, leading us to our first overtime game of the tournament. The extra 5 minutes were just as exciting, as the teams traded buckets, then with 2 seconds to go, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera knocked down a corner three pointer to give Georgetown a 3 point lead. In his hurry to get the ball upcourt, Tennessee's Antonio Barton was called for a carry, and The Hoyas won in overtime, 78-75. Stokes and Smith-Rivera combined for 49 of G-Towns 78 points. Stokes had 29, Smith-Rivera 20. McRae led the Vols with 17.

Other Pod Games

(3) Arkansas- 69, (14) Buffalo- 67 --If not for the G-Town vs. Tennessee game, this would have been the game of the pod. Arkansas led by 13 at halftime but Buffalo came storming back, getting within 2 before Xaiver Ford missed a buzzer beater that would have tied it. Javon McCrea led Buffalo with 20 points, while Rashad Madden led Arkansas with 19 points.

(10) Michigan St.- 72, (7) UCLA- 57 -- UCLA played even in the second half, the difference was the first half as the Spartans had a 40-25 halftime lead. Gary Harris led Michigan St. with 20 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists. UCLA was led by Jordan Adams and his 18 points.

(15) Yale- 81, (2) Memphis- 73 -- Yale pulls the upset of the tournament thus far, getting 30 points from Justin Sears. Yale was 28-39 from the line for the game, that proved to be a huge difference. Memphis was led by Michael Dixon Jr. who had 18.

So again, a region with a fair amount of upsets. Here are the Third Round pairings:

(8) Penn St. vs. (1) Kansas
(13) GA Tech vs. (12) Hawaii
(6) G-Town vs. (3) Arkansas
(15) Yale vs. (10) Michigan St.
