(3) St. John's 86 , (6) Indiana 61 Recap Box Score
|
St. John's C Tyrone Grant: 14 pts, 12 reb
|
The Red Storm's 56% FG shooting and unlikely zone defense dismissed the Hoosiers less than 48 hours after IU silenced critics with a first-round win. Indiana suffered its worst loss (25 points) in its 75-game NCAA tournament history.

The Terps forced the game tempo to jump out to an early lead, but let the Blue Jays back into the game late. Morris is playing better than anyone else in Orlando.

(1) Auburn 81 , (9) Oklahoma State 74 Recap Box Score
|
Auburn G Scott Pohlman: Career-high 28 pts
|
On a team with high-flying forwards, Pohlman -- a short, skinny guard -- carried the Tigers past the scrappy Cowboys. Auburn needed a test, got one and passed it (though not very decisively).

(4) Ohio St. 75 , (12) Detroit 44 Recap Box Score
|
Ohio St. G Scoonie Penn: 15 pts, 12 reb
|
Detroit is cut from the same cloth as Wisconsin -- great defense, offense like pulling teeth. Those two total points in the first ten minutes were probably the game-killer for the Titans, but a healthy Scoonie Penn was devastating, too.
