Georgetown upset in first round, top seeds through
“The coach told me to play defense, and when I play defense it carries over to my offense,” Kentucky freshman Eric Bledsoe told reporters after scoring a game-high 29 points
Kentucky will face Wake Forest next after the Demon Deacons edged Texas 81-80 in overtime thanks to a last-second shot by Ishmael Smith. Kansas will play Northern Iowa.
In the day’s biggest upset, Georgetown went down to Ohio after guard Armon Bassett scored 32 points and made five three-pointers.
In the South bracket, No. 2 seed Villanova won a nailbiter against unheralded Robert Morris, rallying to a 73-70 win in overtime. In the second round they face No. 10 St. Mary’s, who upset seventh-seeded Richmond.
Villanova trailed by eight with about four minutes left in the second half but Scottie Reynolds scored his team’s next seven points, all on free throws, and they regrouped to force overtime.
”For us to be down the way we were, to be able to come back from that and execute and do all the things that we did, it feels good,” Reynolds said.
Notre Dame, the sixth seed in the South, were eliminated with a 51-50 loss to Old Dominion, who recorded their first tournament win since 1995. They next meet Baylor, who beat Sam Houston State.
In the East, Quincy Pondexter’s shot with less than two seconds left gave No. 11 Washington an 80-78 win over No. 6 Marquette 80-78.
New Mexico will play Washington after they beat Montana 62-57. In the West, Danero Thomas hit a 15-footer as time expired to give No. 13 Murray State a 66-65 win over fourth seed Vanderbilt.
