**HAPPY ST PATRICK’S DAY**
M Star shoots back to top as 18 go 7-1
CERRITOS (smt)- We got our first true buzzer-beater as a great designed play got the ball to Jordan Poole who fired off a spread-eagled three before the buzzer and nailed it to give #3W-Michigan a one-point 64-63 victory over #6W-Houston. Houston missed both free throws before the play and couldn’t extend a two-point lead with 3.6 seconds left and they did not guard the inbound pass (I thought the famous ’92 Duke buzzer-beater made teams start to guard the inbound pass). that wasn’t the only late-game drama as #11S-Loyola-Chicago blew a 10 point lead with 4 minutes left and trailed by 1 with 21 seconds left. Clayton Custer took an off balanced jumper that hit the front of the rim, then the backboard, and then into the rim with 3.6 seconds left to give the Ramblers a 63-62 win over #3S-Tennessee. The Vols, with no timeouts, took the inbound and actually had a great look at a 3 that was just long. The South has now lost its #1, #3, and #4 teams. Watch out #2S-Cincinnati.
#5S-Kentucky (ending game on 21-6 run after #13S-Buffalo got within 3), #1E-Villanova, and #2MW-Duke dominated second half for an easy win while #1MW-Kansas, #4W-Gonzaga, and #3E-Texas Tech all held on to narrow wins. Six top seeds won today.
M Star was one of 18 to go 7-1 today to take the lead with 75 pts. Wuk2 and Bwakewey 1 are Continue reading
