CIT Second Round

(16) Belmont- 91, (1) Rutgers- 78 -- Belmont continues to show that they played below their talent level in the regular season, with a win that wasn't as close as the score indicates. J.J. Mann lit it up with 26 points, and for the top seed Rutgers, they go home a lot early than expected. The Scarlet Knights were led in scoring by Myles Mack, who had 23.

(8) Illinois- 67, (9) George Mason- 48 -- 34.7% shooting doomed George Mason, who was led in scoring by Sherrod Wright with 22. Illinois had 4 players in double figures, led by Rayvonte Rice who had 24. Rice also added 10 boards for a double-double.

(5) Washington- 70, (12) UCF- 60 -- A good win for the Huskies, who were led by C.J. Wilcox and his 22 points. UCF was just 9-17 from the line, which really hurt them. They did have a terrific performance from Isaiah Sykes, who had 11 points, 8 boards, and 6 assists.

(20) Miss. St.- 63, (4) Cincinnati- 61 -- The Bulldogs, who came into the postseason the lowest possible ranked team of all 152, are getting hot at the right time. They held Cincy to just 17 second half points, but were very lucky to win. Craig Sword and Colin Borchert had 13 points each to lead the way. Cincinnati, on the other hand, was a dismal 6-15 from the line, and because of that their season is over. They were led by Sean Kilpatrick who had 18 points.

(6) S. Carolina- 69, (11) Rhode Island- 64 -- A pretty even game, but the Gamecocks did just enough. Sindarius Thornwell had 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Xavier Munford had 16 points for Rhode Island in a losing effort.

(3) Toledo- 82, (19) VA Tech- 73 -- Toledo had 2 guys with over 20 points in this second round win. Justin Drummond had 23 and Julius Brown had 20. J.D. Weatherspoon posted a double-double with 11 points, 10 boards. The Hokies, who doubled up Toledo from the three point line, see their season end, and were led by Jarell Eddie with 16.

(10) Wyoming- 68, (7) W. Michigan- 66 -- The Cowboys relied on 4 players tonight, who combined for 53 of the teams 68 points. Josh Adams had 15, Riley Grabau 14, and Larry Nance Jr. and Nathan Sobey each with 12. W. Michigan relied on the three pointer too much in a losing effort, going 4-18 from behind the arc. They had the leading game scorers thogh, as Shayne Whittington had 22 and David Brown had 17.

(2) Washington St.- 76, (18) Indiana St.- 66 -- The Sycamores lost this game defensively in the second half, as they gave up 49 second half points. Dawon Cummings led Indiana St. with 14 in the losing effort. For Washington St., they move on to the quarterfinals, as they got 23 from DaVonte Lacy and 16 from D.J. Shelton.

The match-ups for the CIT quarterfinals are set:

(16) Belmont @ (8) Illinois
(20) Miss. St. @ (5) Washington
(6) S. Carolina @ (3) Toledo
(10) Wyoming @ (2) Washington St.
