Day 3 (3/23) March Madness thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread to discuss all March Madness games played today.

This tournament has been wild so far. Alas, I've been glued to my TV and monitors watching the NCAA Wrestling Championships, so I've only caught highlights the past two days.

Arizona - Dayton are kicking the day off with a nice battle so far.

#2 Arizona over #7 Dayton, 78-68 in the West

Dayton got down 17 again in the first half and made a nice run the last four minutes of the first half and then throughout the second. Just ran out of gas the last part of the second half.

Gonzaga 43-44 Kansas at the half.

Gonzaga pulled away in the 2nd half, to win 89-68

Unreal shooting in the second half. Gonzaga put on a clinic.

UNC - MSU has been great so far. MSU looked like they were going to run away with it, but then UNC came roaring back, and now leads 37-31.

Alas, I've got to get ready for tonight's NCAA Wrestling Championships.

The Oregon - Creighton game is insane. It goes to OT, and Oregon just tied it with a deep 3, 71-71, with 16.9 sec left. Timeout call by Creighton

And we're going to 2nd OT. Creighton had the shot at the buzzer in the 1st OT, but bounced off the rim

Oregon went stone cold in the 2nd OT. Their first score was with 34.8 sec left (out of 5 min) from the charity stripe. Creighton only missed 2 shots, and 1 of them became a put-back dunk by Creighton.

Final: 86-73, Creighton

They'll play Tennessee on Friday.
