Michael Jordan |
The Blue Devils built up a six-point lead at the half, but Arizona completely overwhelmed them in the second half, outscoring them 55-33 en route to a 93-77 victory. Led by Derrick Williams' 32 points, Arizona advanced to the Elite 8 for the first time since 2005.
Meanwhile, for the Blue Devils this loss was a heartbreaker for a number of reasons. Coach K and his group looked poised to make a deep run this tournament with star point guard Kyrie Irving coming back. This was probably the last game for Irving as a college athlete, which is unfortunate for college basketball but good for him (and possibly the Cleveland Cavaliers).
We will be NCAA Tournament heavy today, but there's a lot more going on in the sports world. For instance, Michael Jordan is throwing a fit because Harrison Barnes, North Carolina's star freshman, is wearing Kobe Bryant's shoes and not his.
Chad Ochocinco's tryout with Sporting Kansas City in the MLS is still going on. We will have the latest news on how he is doing.
