NCAA: And Then There Were Eight

Another night, another number one seed heads home early, while another surprise packet pushes on further. Kentucky eliminated #1 seed Ohio State 62-60 with Brandon Knight hitting a pressure shot with seconds remaining. OSU had a chance to win it, but William Buford's 3-pointer bounced off the rim. Kentucky will meet North Carolina, who blew Marquette out of the water in the first half en route to a 81-63 win.

In the Southwest, Virginia Commonwealth won a knife-edge thriller over Florida State 72-71 with a blocked shot on the overtime buzzer clinching the win. They will go on to meet the sole remaining #1 seed, Kansas, who easily accounted for Richmond 77-57. Richmond and Kansas got involved in asome pre-game pushing in the tunnel prior to the game, but once the action moved to the court, Kansas had enough space to comfortably deal with their ooponents.
