The overall number one seed of the tournament, Louisville, just narrowly got by upset-minded number 9 seed Wichita State Saturday with a 72-68 victory.
The ninth-seeded Shockers led by as many as 12 points -- 47-35 -- with about 13 minutes left before Louisville used a 21-8 run to take back the lead 56-55 with 6:30 left on a Hancock 3-pointer. The teams traded the lead until the 1:58 mark, when another Hancock 3 gave the Cardinals a five-point cushion. With 8.8 seconds left and Louisville leading by two and looking to seal it from the line, Hancock made his first foul shot, missed the second but forced a jump ball on the rebound, giving his team back possession. A Russ Smith free throw with five seconds left accounted for the final margin of victory.
Michigan and Syracuse also played it close Saturday with the Wolverines pulling off a 61-56 victory. Both teams were number 4 seeds.
"We've been a team all year," said coach John Beilein, whose Wolverines were playing in the Final Four for the first time since 1993, when the Fab Five lost for the second straight time in the national title game. "It was great."
