Updated Tournament Bracket

North Carolina 92, Butler 80

Joel Berry II and Justin Jackson combined to score 50 points as UNC took advantage of its superior size and athleticism to post a comfortable 12-point victory over Butler.

Berry pushed aside any questions about a lingering ankle injury as he scored 26 points to lead the way for the Tar Heels. Jackson added 24 points, five rebounds and five assists, while Luke Maye provided a double-double off the bench with 16 points and 12 boards in the win.

Andrew Chrabascz ended his collegiate career with 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Bulldogs. He didn't get enough help to keep pace with the South region's top seed, though. The team shot just 43.5 percent from the field, including 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Meanwhile, North Carolina controlled the game by attacking the rim on offense. It shot 67 percent from inside the three-point line and grabbed 10 offensive boards as part of a 38-26 rebounding advantage.

The Heels will face either UCLA or Kentucky in the Elite Eight. In either case, it will be a star-studded clash for a trip to Arizona for the Final Four.

South Carolina 70, Baylor 50

The Gamecocks didn't just advance to the Elite Eight, they made a massive statement along the way with a 20-point blowout of a previously stout Bears squad.

Sindarius Thornwell kept his outstanding tournament run going with 24 points on the strength of four three-pointers to go along with six rebounds. He's now scored 77 points in the team's victories over Marquette, Duke and Baylor to reach the Elite Eight.

Chris Silva tallied 12 points, seven boards and two blocks for SC. PJ Dozier (12 points) and Duane Notice (11) also reached double figures in scoring in the win.

Johnathan Motley was the lone offensive bright spot for Baylor with 18 points. Nobody else reached double digits as the Bears shot 30.4 percent from the field and 23.1 from long distance against a fierce Gamecocks defensive effort.

If there was any doubt South Carolina was a legit threat coming into the next week of the tourney, it's been eliminated now. The team's Elite Eight battle with either Florida or Wisconsin is guaranteed to become a physical encounter where scoring will likely be at a premium.

Kentucky 86, UCLA 75

The Lonzo Ball show is over—at least until the NBA draft—as De'Aaron Fox stole the show to help push Kentucky past UCLA.

Fox was lights out all night en route to 39 points for the Wildcats. Malik Monk put together a nice outing of his own with 21 points, while Dominique Hawkins provided a boost off the bench with 11 points on four-of-five shooting.

Ball didn't have a good shooting night (four of 10, including one three on six attempts), but still finished with 10 points, eight assists and three rebounds. TJ Leaf and Isaac Hamilton both scored 17 points to lead the Bruins.

While UCLA's offense remained exciting, it couldn't generate enough stops at the defensive end to keep pace. Kentucky shot 49.2 percent from the field, 43.5 percent from three and scored 50 points in the second half to get the win.

The Tar Heels and Wildcats will be appointment viewing the in the next round.

Florida 84, Wisconsin 83

The Florida Gators booked their spot in the Elite Eight thanks to the first true buzzer beater of this year's tournament. 

Down two with four seconds to play in overtime, Florida guard Chris Chiozza raced up the floor and buried a running three-pointer as time expired to hand the Gators an 84-83 win: 

KeVaughn Allen was locked in and led Florida with 35 points (11-of-24 shooting, 4-of-12 from three), and every single bucket was necessary considering he was the only Gators scorer who finished in double-figures. 

Conversely, all five Wisconsin starters finished with at least 10 points—including Zak Showalter, who drilled a game-tying three with seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime: 

And while Nigel Hayes (22 points) drilled a pair of free throws to give Wisconsin the lead late in overtime, Chiozza's heroics overshadowed what proved to be a stellar effort from the Badgers' leader. 

The Gators will now meet the Gamecocks in an all-SEC regional final with a trip to the Final Four in Phoenix on the line.
