Final: Houston beat PurDue 62-60
How Houston won: PurDie, Houston, but Cougars, Milos extended a winning order, thanks to a winning order with 0.9 seconds in arrangement. It was only a game back and forth that made 10 leadership changes in the first half. Houston finally left the biggest leadership – 10 points – only 7:59. From there, a 9-1 run from the boiler manufacturers, a glass of Heide Heide 3-Painter closed them before connecting it to 0: 35, but Cougars’s last game punched his tickets to Elite Eight. Uzan finished with the highest 22 points. – ESPN staff

Houston draws a great game to score a winner on a second left
Milos Uzan’s ball is back and Houston was left 0.9 seconds.
Houston’s key to Tennessee in Elite Eight: Second chance scores. As with Rick Barnes, Tennessee has one of the distinguished defenses in the country – but one of the weaknesses of the volunteers at this end of the ground was on the glass. And this can be taken into the hands of Houston, given the dominance of Cougars on the offensive glass. On average of 12.5 attack rebounds per game, 13.1 Second chance score and the attack on the attack on the 11th national ranks 11th. Tennessee was a little stuck in the defense glass in the NCAA Tournament, but Houston’s incredible aggression and emphasis on the game is a completely different task. Cougars destroyed PurDie on Friday, took 16 offensive rebounds, and turned them into 20 second chance points. In addition, Joseph Brigades won the last deportation game after hitting the offensive glass to keep the property alive. – Jeff Borzello
Final: Auburn Michigan beat 78-65
How did Auburn win: In the second half, Tahaad made a return jumper after making a foul foul, then made a gesture as if he was doing a phone call. Perhaps he was thinking of calling the NBA teams, because the breaking performance against Michigan may have changed his future. Aubburn, Pettiford, Denver Jones and Johni Broome won 62 points and offer a striking performance at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and a sloppy first half of the campus was slightly more than a Tigers home game.
Auburn’s defense arrangements at Danny Wolf were also important. 13:06 After his settlement in Mark, Michigan had a seven -point advantage. From there, Aubburn tried to reject his touches and force him to shoot. Wolf never scored again.
In general, the tigers that emerged in the second half seemed to be the same tigers, the number 1 team of the country for about three months, and at some point favorites to win the national championship. – Myron Medcalf

Key to Michigan Province in Auburn’s Elite Eight: Take advantage of the 3 -point problems of Michigan Province. Michigan State is one of the country’s worst 3 -point shooting teams and made only six tracks per match in a 31.1% clip (318.). Spartians are elite to create second chance opportunities and reach the free throws line, but tigers can hold an edge from the environment. In the last 10 matches, they can warm up from 3 by making double digits four times.
Pettiford is a dynamic shooting manufacturer and Denver Jones, Michigan made four 3S in the win. Auburn hit better than 37% beyond the arc and made more than nine 3 to 3 per game in the SEC game. – Jeff Borzello
Final: Tennesse defeated Kentucky 78-65
How did Tennessee win: In the first eight minutes, Tennessee went ahead with a double -digit and did not look back, extended the advantage to 19 points and did not allow the game to enter a single digit in the second half. It was a complete effort for volunteers who had an advantage of 34-24 in the glass, while pulling 50.9% of the field to punch their tickets to the second flat elite eights. Zakai Zeigler directed Vols with 18 points and added four assists to request most of them in a single season. Chaz Lanier finished with double numbers with 17 points, Jordan Gainey added 16 from the counter. – ESPN staff
Tennessee’s key to Houston in Elite Eight: Win Point Guard Battle. Zakai Zeigler was incredible in the NCAA tournament, an average of 15.0 points and 9.3 assists only 2.3 turnover. There were 18 points and 10 assists against Kentucky, and at the end of the defense, it could cause problems. Houston will try to break the crime at the point of attack of Tennessee – and that’s the Zeigler. Milos Uzan became one of the best guards in the country in the second half of the season, and on Friday, he goes to 22 points and six assisors, including the winning shooting against PurDie. Without the fact that Zeigler cannot effectively get the ball to voluntary shooters, their crimes will not be as efficient as they should be against Cougars. – Jeff Borzello
Final: Michigan defeated the state Ole Miss 73-70
How did Michigan win the state: Before matching Ole Miss on Friday, Tom Izzo said that this Spartans team was one of the most “connected” state cadres. This chemistry was vital to overcoming a double -digit deficit against the rebels.
Jaden Akins cut Ole Miss Star Sean Pedulla at a shot that would connect the Tre Holloman game immediately after being late in a late order. Jase Richardson made big games. Coen Carr’s second half Dunk also electrified the Spartans fans in State Farm Arena. It wasn’t always pleasant (Michigan State missed 11 of the first 17 field goals), but these blue-collar Spartans (36-30 advantage in paint points) and why are they going to Elite Eight times under Izzo. – Myron Medcalf
Michigan state’s key to Auburn in Elite Eight: attacker glass. It is no surprise to get an advantage in the opponent with the attacker glass of a team with Tom Izzo coach. Michigan State was the best aggressive ribunt team in Big Ten, located close to the bottom of the SEC in the Auburn defense rebound. Spartians get more than 13 second chance points per game, while the tigers on the other side of the national lower 50 and allow more than 12 second chance points. Michigan has to take advantage of this edge.
Michigan had two 7 -meter feotators against Auburn and received 10 attacks of offensive, but he only got nine second chance points and scored more by 12 in this category. The Spartans are likely to be a 3 -point shooting team in the next 36 hours, so the collapse of the aggressive boards will be the key.– Jeff Borzello
