March Madness Day 3, Part 1

Syracuse 75 - Kansas State 59
The question was could Kansas State hit enough shots that were available due to Syracuse's zone. The answer was no (31.3% shooting from the field). When Syracuse got their offense untracked in the second half, KSU simply couldn't keep up. Those who picked Syracuse to go far will be heartened after this game.

Ohio State 73 - Gonzaga 66
This was a very enjoyable game, back and forth, back and forth. Every time one team would take a lead, the other would storm back to tie or re-take the lead. Gonzaga's big man Robert Sacre did very good job on tOSU's Jared Sullinger for 38 minutes. However, Ohio State's guards and other forwards were a little too much. And when Gonzaga made their last run to tie the game late, Sullinger took over. Tremendous fight from both teams in this one.
