Tyrone Brazleton is doing some damage for the Toppers. They are going with a 4-guard set thanks to the foul situation, but its working well for them. Of course burning the nets with trey bombs doesn't hurt. Western has built a nine-point lead.
Starting the second stanza in Birmingham, American cuts it to one on a rainbow by Derrick Mercer.
Gonzaga and St. Mary's both up by five at the half.
Nice body control by American's Brian Gilmore. The Eagles are hanging tough like a new kid on the block, down by 3 with just under 25 left. Stephen Curry is shooting Davidson back into it.
Zags have built a nine-point lead. I could see them being huge on the national scene next year along with Kansas State (and yes I know Beasley is leaving).
Leonard Houston starts the second half for Drake with his third foul trying to stop Lee.
Strike that they give the foul to Korver.
American just tied it at 40. Garrison Carr has 19 for the Eagles.
Drake is as ice cold as a December cornfield wind. Josh Young breaks the spell finally.
Jonathan Cox has been very effective. Evans and Magley have three whistles apiece for Western.
Orlanod Mendez-Valdez and his ’80s hair hits his second trey. Western is 9-1 when he hits multiple bombs.
Miami has used a 13-3 second half start to lead St. Mary's by five.
Boris Siakam has more charges than a "Big Spender" rescue victim.
Emmenecker is having an off game. His passes aren't finding their targets and thanks to a four-point play, Western is cruising. Korver is going to try and shoot them back in, but Western keeps answering. 66-50 Western thanks to 12 3s.
Miami up by nine, Gonzaga and Davidson tied, Tennessee only up by three, bracket looking quite suspect.
Miami is on a 25-6 run in the second half. I can hear Billy Packer, fresh from a maniacal laugh over the Kentucky loss, wondering how St. Mary's got in the dance in the first place seeing as kids who play there weren't recruited by a single ACC school and are therefore not worth discussing.
Curry has 34 for Davidson, who is currently up by one. But a scandal has erupted as he has been revealed to be B.J. "Baby Face" Armstrong who ran out of eligibility during the Reagan administration. And he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids.
As if it weren't bad enough, Western gets away with an obvious over-and-back call. T.R. Knight stomps the Drake bench in disgust then forgives Isaiah Washington for his language. But the good vibes don't hide the fact that the 'Dogs can't hit a layup or stop Western.
American is still hanging tough down by six to UT with two minutes to play. Now they're down by nine, so let's go to Davidson-Gonzaga.
Zags commit an offensive foul by an overgrown Danny Bonaduce. The divorce has gotten to him without question.
Quickly, Tennessee has it in hand by 12 with a minute left. Western and Miami are also ahead by double figures.
Austin Daye had to jack it up with only two on the shot clock. Davidson being patient up by a deuce.
Jason Richards bricked it. Jeremy Pargo ties it with a layup.
