(7) CINCINNATI (87 - (15) SOUTH FLORIDA (61)

(6) WEST VIRGINIA (61) - (11) MARQUETTE (67)

●Kemba Walker dropped in 28 points to pace the Huskies. Georgetown misses Chris Wright, who could return for NCAA play after suffering a broken hand in February.

●The referees ran off the court with 1.7 seconds left and with St. John's Justin Brownlee walking out of bounds in a premature celebration.

●The Bearcats won their sixth game in the past seven behind Yancy Gates' 25 career high points.

●Darius Johnson-Odom stroked two big 3-pointers in the final minutes to put another signature win on the Golden Eagles' NCAA resume. Bob Huggins 20^th ranked Mountaineers can now rest up for the Big Dance.

BIG SKY (FINALS @ GREELEY, CO)

(2) MONTANA (60) - (1) NORTHERN COLORADO (65)

●Devon Beitzel, the conference and tournament MVP, scored 13 of his game-high 25 points in the last five minutes to carry the Bears to their first-ever NCAA appearance.

BIG XII (FIRST ROUND @ KANSAS CITY)

(5) COLORADO (77) - (12) IOWA STATE (75)

(7) BAYLOR (64) - (10) OKLAHOMA (87)

(6) MISSOURI (88)- (11) TEXAS TECH (84)

●Nebraska's faint hopes for an NCAA bid went down in a heap when Lance Jeter fell and turned the ball over in the waning seconds of the final Big XII game for the Cornhuskers.

●Colorado avoided its final Big XII loss, riding Alex Burks' 29 points and staging a furious 13-5 rally in the final minutes. The win cements an NCAA bid for the Buffaloes.

●Perry Jones was ruled ineligible this afternoon, and Baylor looked dazed and confused with an NCAA bid on the line. OU moves on, and Bears go to NIT.

●MU clawed out a much-need win despite foul troubles and late turnovers. John Roberson didn't have enough help in Pat Knight's final game as Tech coach.

●Marshall used an 18-2 second half run to advance.
