Good Saturday morning sports fans. This is Greg Humble in the studio along with my colleagues here at See BS–Charles Parkly Clark Post, and Kenny Jones. We’re just moments away from a great slate of Saturday games, and at the end of the day four teams will punch their tickets to the Sweet 16.
We’re going to start everybody out with the top-seed in the East, the 2001 Duke Blue Devils taking on the eight seed Kentucky Wildcats of 1978. Let’s send it out to our See BS crew, Ian Falcon, Jim Snorkel, and Jamie Herdall.
EAST REGION
Wildcat Inside Muscle Too Much For The Region’s Top Seed
9 Kentucky 1978 |
89 |
1 Duke 2001 |
80 |
Unassociated Press: The 8-Seed 1978 Kentucky Wildcats took advantage of a huge rebounding edge to hold off the top seed in the East, the 2001 Duke Blue Devils. The Wildcats enjoyed a huge 51-30 rebounding advantage with the Blue Mist’s Twin Towers both recording double figure boards.
Kentucky broke open a close game midway through the second half. With a 56-53 lead, the Wildcats went on a 16-5 run to take a commanding 72-58 lead. Duke frantically mounted a comeback with three-pointers from Jay Williams, Mike Dunleavy, and Nate James to cut the lead to 76-70, but the Wildcats chose to keep the ball in the hands of Kyle Macy down the stretch, and Duke was forced to foul one of the all time great foul shooters.

Tiny Towe Blitz’s Cardinals Press To Lead Pack To Impressive Win
4 North Carolina St. 1974 |
96 |
12 Louisville 1980 |
82 |
Unassociated Press: Five foot, six inch guard Monte Towe proved to be impossible to trap by the vaunted Louisville 2-2-1 press defense. Time and time again, he broke the press and drove until he found an open teammate, forcing Louisville to call the press off. By the time the Cardinals stopped pressing, the Wolf Pack had turned the ball over twice, but they scored easy baskets or went to the foul line enough times to take a 10-point lead in the first 12 minutes of the game.
A three-minute stretch to end the first half found N.C. State turning the ball over in their own halfcourt four times, while Louisville warmed up from the field and cut the lead to two points.
The Wolf Pack maintained the lead throughout the second half, and once they held a five point lead, they forced Louisville to foul down the stretch, where Towe was 8 of 8 at the charity stripe in the final minutes to preserve the win.
1974 North Carolina State now faces 1978 Kentucky in the Sweet 16 in what should be an incredible matchup, as the two teams have similar styles. David Thompson and Jack Givens should be worth the price of admission.

Cavaliers Put Hoyas To Sleep With Slow Pace
3 Virginia 2019 |
60 |
14 Georgetown 1984 |
52 |
Unassociated Press: The 2019 Virginia Cavaliers slowed the game down to 59 possessions, forcing Georgetown to pass away from Patrick Ewing, and then trapping Ewing when he caught the ball in the post. The tactic worked, as Ewing could only take seven shots in 35 minutes of action.
This had the look of a game where both teams would struggle to score 40 points, as neither team could solve the other’s defense. Eight minutes into the game, Georgetown led 7-6. At this point, Braxton Key entered the game for Virginia and gave the Wahoo offense a shot in the arm with six quick points to give the Cavaliers a 16-13 lead, a lead they would not relinquish.
Virginia held the Hoyas to 34.6% shooting in the second half, as Ewing could only score one basket in the final stanza.

Hoosiers Limit Mistakes, Play Excellent Defense In Impressive Win
10 Indiana 1987 |
78 |
2 North Carolina 2005 |
63 |
Unassociated Press: The Hoosiers committed just seven turnovers while limiting North Carolina to 40.7% shooting. Indiana opened a 15-point lead in the first half, and North Carolina never cut the lead to single digits, getting to within 10 points three times.
The Tar Heel starting front court was held to 10-26 shooting, while the Hoosiers’ front court was 17-34.
This sets up an interesting Sweet 16 game between 1987 Indiana and 2019 Virginia Thursday night.

SOUTH REGION
Top Seed Falls To Quick Bruin Quintet
8 UCLA 1964 |
97 |
1 Kentucky 1996 |
89 |
Unassociated Press: UCLA’s great backcourt duo of Walt Hazzard and Gail Goodrich combined for 61 points, and the UCLA full-court press was just as devastating as Kentucky’s matchup press.
Kentucky led for most of the first half and the first six minutes of the second half. With the Wildcats ahead 61-54, the Bruins reeled off 14 point in the next three minutes to take a 68-66 lead. After Kentucky tied the score at 68-68, back-to-back three point field goals by Hazzard gave UCLA the lead for good.

Bruin Muscle Proves Too Much For Cardinals
4 UCLA 1970 |
100 |
5 Louisville 2013 |
82 |
Unassociated Press: The trio of Steve Patterson, Sidney Wicks, and Curtis Rowe flexed their muscles, scoring almost at will at times in the paint and getting multiple offensive rebounds with putbacks.
After beginning the game matching baskets, the score was knotted at 17-17 with 12 minutes to go in the first half. UCLA opened a 12-point lead in the next eight minutes, and Louisville could get no closer than seven points the rest of the way.
When the Cardinals cut the lead to seven at 69-62, a Bruin 9-2 run moved the lead out to 14, and Louisville began to rush their offense, committing crucial turnovers that allowed the lead to ballon to 21 points at one point.
The 1970 Bruins now face the 1964 UCLA Bruins in a game of contrasts between 1964’s speed and 1970’s muscle.

Grant Hill Puts Blue Devils’ Hopes On His Shoulder To Bring Duke Back To Victory
6 Duke 1992 |
78 |
14 Kansas 1997 |
73 |
Unassociated Press: In a game with many twists and turns, Duke blew a 10-point first half lead and trailed by as many as nine points in the second half until Grant Hill took control of the game, scoring 14 of his game high 20 points in the final 11 minutes of the game.
Kansas went on a 24-7 scoring run that covered the last six minutes of the first half and first four minutes of the second half to take a 49-42 lead. After Duke cut the lead to three several times, the Jayhawks scored six straight points to take a 59-50. That’s when Hill went to work, scoring 14 of Dukes’ final 28 points.

Wildcats Hot For Three Minutes, But It’s Enough To Advance
2 Villanova 2018 |
64 |
7 Florida 2007 |
51 |
Unassociated Press: Villanova couldn’t buy a basket for 3/4 of the game, but then neither could the Gators as both teams had trouble finding the range. Then, a brief barrage of baskets on 4 of 7 shooting that included a couple of three-point shots broke open a close game to allow ‘Nova to pull away to a safe lead. Leading just 39-38 in the second half, an 11-0 run gave The Wildcats a 12-point lead. Florida never could mount a move at this point, and Villanova cruised to victory.
Villanova advances to Thursday’s Sweet 16 round against 1992 Duke.
