Florida State 66 - St. Bonaventure 63
Florida State spent all of the postgame insisting they didn't take St. Bonaventure lightly. Florida State spent most of the game taking St. Bonaventure lightly.
Georgetown 74 - Belmont 59
Georgetown did what higher seeds are supposed to do. Overwhelmed their opponents. They shot 62% from the field and Belmont never seriously challenged them.
North Carolina 77 - Vermont 58
So much for John Henson being ready for the NCAA Tournament. I bet a lot of people would reconsider their brackets had the truth about Henson been known. Miles might even have decided to tank his Final Four dunk attempt if he had known. I can't imagine Roy Williams was worried about befuddling Vermont's attempts to game plan for the Tar Heels, just be honest with us next time, coach.
Norfolk State 86 - Missouri 84
Here it is, the game that torched countless brackets. As I mentioned on twitter, 41% of brackets lost their West region Final Four team when this one ended. The really amazing thing is, Missouri didn't play poorly. They put up 84 points. Norfolk State played out of their mind (shot better than 50% from behind the arc). Where Missouri will come under fire is Norfolk imposed their will on this game better than Missouri did. As a 2 seed, that's inexcusable. But Missouri wasn't able to generate the turnovers like they're used to (11) while Norfolk State used their size advantage to pull down 14 offensive rebounds.
It's only the 5th time ever a 15 seed has beaten a 2 seed. Hold that thought...
