36. #12 Oregon 73, #13 UC Irvine 54 (Round of 32)

Though they erased a 14-point Ducks lead late in the first half, the Anteaters didn’t have enough left in the tank to stop Oregon’s second, much bigger run. A long Oregon drought at the beginning of the second half allowed UC Irvine back into the game, but then the shots began to fall once more and the Ducks put the game away with relative ease in the final ten minutes. Payton Pritchard (18 points), Louis King (16 points), and Kenny Wooten (11 points, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks) all starred for the Ducks. Max Hazzard (1-8 from 3) couldn’t find his stroke for an overmatched Anteaters squad who couldn’t pull of a second Tourney upset.

35. #1 Gonzaga 72, #4 Florida State 58 (Sweet Sixteen)

In avenging last season’s upset loss, the Bulldogs took care of business this year against the Seminoles. Florida State’s only lead was 2-0 and the Bulldogs controlled a solid lead for most of the game. The Seminoles shot poorly (15% from 3) and needed more offense than just Trent Forrest (20 points) to topple Gonzaga. As per usual, Rui Hachimura (17 points) and Brandon Clarke (15 points, 12 rebounds) starred for the Bulldogs, managing to diminish the role of the Seminoles’ big men. Their lead was never really in doubt in the second half, igniting Gonzaga to the Elite Eight.

34. #16 Fairleigh Dickinson 82, #16 Prairie View A&M 76 (First Four)

Prairie View led this game for most of the first 30 minutes, but the Knights fought back to win their first ever NCAA Tournament game. The Knights trailed by as much as 13 in the second half before tying the game at 59 with under eight minutes left. As the Panthers shooting went cold, Fairleigh Dickinson took advantage, pulling away to the six-point victory. The Knights shot 54.5%, led by 33 points from Darnell Edge and 22 points from Jahlil Jenkins, both of whom played the entire game. Gary Blackston’s 26 point effort wasn’t enough for the Panthers, who made 53.6% of their 3-pointers in the loss.
