Louisville 79, North Carolina A&T 48
When you thought about this game for 1.7 seconds before filling in Louisville as the winner, you probably thought about how this game would go. It went exactly as you expected. It went exactly as anyone wold expect a game between the top team in the tournament and North Carolina A&T would go. Louisville ran around and did Louisville things while North Carolina A&T hung around not mattering.
Michigan 71, South Dakota State 56
This was billed as a matchup of 2 quality point guards: Nate Wolters (SDS) and Trey Burke (UM). Those two combined for 16 points on 5/26 shooting. Michigan has the team around Burke to compensate for an off-game from their point guard. South Dakota State doesn't.
Arizona 81, Belmont 64
Belmont simply couldn't get a bucket for the entire first half. From layups to 3 point shots, nothing was going in. In the end they dug themselves too big a hole to climb out of.
California 64, UNLV 61
The end of this game was marred twice. First it was marred by atrocious free throw shooting from Cal. Cal was up 2 points with 13 seconds left. had they not shot 7/16 from the line on the night (including many misses in those final 13 seconds) this game is over quickly and quietly. But they did. That allowed UNLV to hang around...until the referees made themselves the story by failing to call a UNLV foul with 6.5 seconds left and UNLV down 1 point. UNLV didn't get their foul until there was ~1.5 seconds left, and then it was too late for them to get a decent look. Well done referees, we didn't even get through one day before you guys inserted yourselves into the end of a game.
