To make things go along quicker, I have decided I will go scores only the rest of the way, at least through the NIT. Unless I find a really dominant performance in a box score that deserves to be mentioned. Now, if you guys want game by game recaps in the NCAA tournament, I can do that.
NIT Second Round
Utah St. Region
(1) Utah St.- 75, (8) NC Central- 65
(5) Georgia- 74, (4) BC- 71
(6) St. Bonaventure- 80, (3) New Mexico St.- 76
(2) Colorado- 71, (7) Marquette- 67 -- Davante Gardner dropped in 25 points in a losing effort for Marquette.
Providence Region
(1) Providence- 83, (8) Weber St.- 65
(5) Richmond- 80, (4) Oklahoma- 76
(6) Notre Dame- 69, (3) California- 57
(2) BYU- 68, (10) Stony Brook- 60
Clemson Region
(1) Clemson- 82, (9) Army- 58 -- Kyle Wilson scored 24 points in a losing effort for Army, including 10-10 from the free throw line.
(4) USC- 74, (5) Manhattan- 57
(3) Kansas St.- 86, (6) Houston- 81 (2 OT) -- What a game!
(2) Seton Hall- 73, (7) N. Dakota St.- 63
Auburn Region
(9) Youngstown St.- 83, (1) Auburn- 82 (OT) -- Auburn has the fate that no team wants, to be the first #1 seed to lose in the NIT.
(4) Duquesne- 72, (5) Texas Tech- 66 -- Gotta throw some stats out on this one, Duquesne shot 61.1% from three point land, and check out this stat line from Duquesne's Micah Mason: 22 points on 6-6 from the field, all 3 pointers, plus 4-5 from the line. Wow!
(6) Ohio St.- 65, (3) Maryland- 48
(2) Texas- 81, (10) UNC Asheville- 72
Here is the NIT 3rd round schedule:
Utah St. Region
(5) Georgia @ (1) Utah St.
(6) St. Bonaventure @ (2) Colorado
Providence Region
(5) Richmond @ (1) Providence
(6) Notre Dame @ (2) BYU
Clemson Region
(4) USC @ (1) Clemson
(3) Kansas St. @ (2) Seton Hall -- This is the only region to have the top 4 seeds advance.
Auburn Region
(9) Youngstown St. @ (4) Duquesne
(6) Ohio St. @ (2) Texas
Well, #3 seeds didn't fare very well in this round, as all but 1 were defeated. On a bright note, all but 1 top seed is still alive, and all 4 #2 seeds are still alive.
