2020 NCAA Third Round
(6) BYU beat (3) Miami 86-77.
(4) Stanford beat (12) Drake 82-60.
2020 NCAA Sweet Sixteen
(2) UConn beat (6) BYU 89-60.
BYU got hot late in the season and turned that into a Sweet Sixteen appearance. Tough last couple games for Hawaii, who after winning 17 of 18 games, lost their last 2 when it mattered most. Drake got a nice upset win in the first round of the NCAA while St. Louis disappointed. UMass Lowell will hopefully continue to build off their postseason appearance.
2020 Postseason Wrap-Up
The NCAA Final Four was a bit of a bust, as only 1 top seed made it. In the first semifinal, (1W) Tennessee beat (7S) Duke 84-81, while (6E) Georgia beat (6MW) Marquette 77-75. This led to an all-SEC championship game, in which Georgia beat Tennessee 75-69.
The NIT Final Four saw nary a top seed, as the first semifinal saw (4S) Oklahoma beat (7W) Loyola Marymount 75-68. The second semifinal saw (6MW) Notre Dame beat (2E) Illinois 72-66. The NIT championship was a classic, as Notre Dame beat Oklahoma 78-77.
The CBI championship series was even more amazing as (11) Colorado State beat (16) Duquesne 2 games to none. Colorado State won the first game 81-80 and the second game 80-75. Wow!
And finally, the CIT championship, which saw (11) Colgate beat (9) Nicholls State 70-59.
1 other thing of note, as we stick with UC Irvine who shocked Hawaii in the Big West tournament. They won their First Four game over Stony Brook 76-51, then pulled an even bigger upset by bouncing (1) Villanova 69-66 in the second round. Holy cow!
