March Madness live updates, scores, bracket, highlights: Michigan vs. UCSD, Texas Tech vs. UNC Wilmington in NCAA tournament
- This game got more interesting than expected. UNC-Wilmington finished the first half on a 15-3 run and is within striking distance of the Red Raiders. Texas Tech’s Kerwin Walton leads all scorers with 15 points.
- And it’s over. Utah State’s offense had nothing against UCLA and the result was a double-digit deficit for the entire second half. Seven different UCLA players scored between seven and 14 points, and they had assists on 22 of their 26 field goals. A great day on both sides of the ball for the Bruins.
- They’ll face No. 2 Tennessee in the second round.
- The Wolverines are in control of this one early. They opened the game on a 10-0 run and have led the entire way while the Tritons shot just 2-of-15 from deep.
- The Red Storm weathered the Omaha … storm early in the game to take a mild lead into the locker room. Neither team is shooting particularly well. Can St. John’s pull away?
- There might not be much more to say about this game. Utah State’s offense is still sputtering (3-of-24 on 3-pointers) and UCLA has its biggest lead of the night, with 14 points from Skyy Clark. The Bruins have assists on 19 of their 22 field goals tonight.
- Utah State missed 18 straight 3-pointers before Isaac Johnson finally sank one with 15:25 left in the second half. UCLA still leads them 53-36.
