Tennessee 83, Iowa 77

The Tennessee Volunteers avoided what would've been an all-time collapse, beating the Iowa Hawkeyes 83-77 in overtime.

Tennessee appeared headed for an easy win after building a 49-28 lead at halftime. Instead, the No. 2 seed melted down in the second half.

Iowa's comeback wasn't without some controversy. Lamonte Turner appeared to make a clean block on Jordan Bohannon's attempted three-pointer with 2:39 left in the game. Instead, referees whistled Turner for a foul, which allowed Bohannon to go to the foul line for three shots to tie the game.

Turner immediately responded with a three-pointer to give Tennessee some breathing room, but the Vols couldn't hold on to the lead. With the score tied at 71, Jordan Bone had the last shot. His long-range effort rimmed out, sending the game into overtime.

Tennessee quickly jumped out to a 78-71 advantage in the extra frame. Grant Williams played a pivotal role, scoring six of the Vols' 12 points in overtime. He also stripped Tyler Cook under the basket as the Iowa forward was in position to make it a three-point game.

Williams and Admiral Schofield each had a game-high 19 points, with Turner (15 points) and Bone (14 points) stepping up as well.

Tennessee is now through to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2014.

North Carolina 81, Washington 59

North Carolina dominated at both ends of the floor as it pulled away from Washington in an 81-59 victory.

The Tar Heels had a hard time in the first round against Iona. They trailed by five points at halftime and largely won because they were simply a much more talented team than the Gaels.

Sunday was a reminder why UNC is a national title threat. North Carolina held the Huskies to 38.3 percent shooting and owned a 48-24 edge in rebounding. Luke Maye and Coby White also helped to carve up what had been an effective zone defense for Washington.

Maye finished with a double-double (20 points, 14 rebounds).

White, meanwhile, shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc en route to a 17-point performance.

Coby White Hits from Way Downtown

Nassir Little has been hit-or-miss throughout his freshman season. He arrived at North Carolina with big expectations, yet White has overshadowed him. On Sunday, he showed how he can be a significant X-factor for the Tar Heels in their Final Four bid.

Little posted 20 points, seven rebounds and one block in 21 minutes off the bench.

Auburn was likely feeling pretty good after its 14-point win over Kansas in the second round. The Tigers' confidence might be slipping a bit if they caught a glimpse at North Carolina's effort Sunday.

Duke 77, UCF 76

Duke remains alive in the tournament by the slimmest of margins.

The Blue Devils trailed 76-73 inside the final 20 seconds until Williamson drove inside and converted from close range. Although he missed what would've been a game-tying foul shot, RJ Barrett grabbed the rebound and immediately scored the go-ahead bucket.

UCF head coach Johnny Dawkins called a timeout to draw up an inbounds play with 8.1 seconds remaining. The Knights succeeded in getting BJ Taylor a pretty clean look, but his layup didn't find the mark. Aubrey Dawkins followed up, and his putback attempt looked good until it rolled off the rim and the game ended.

End Sequence Duke Win

While Fall received the most attention heading into Sunday's game, Dawkins stole the show. He scored 32 points, adding three rebounds, four assists and three steals. He also shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, a pleasant surprise for the Knights since he was a 39.1 percent three-point shooter.

Nobody doubts Williamson's importance to Duke. The team's 3-2 finish to the regular season without him was evidence as to how much he's the engine of the offense.

The Blue Devils had to lean heavily on the 6'7", 285-pound forward. He led the team with 32 points and was one of the few constants on a night when Duke's top stars were far from their best.

Zion Williamson with the Jam

Barrett scored 16 points on 15 shots, while Tre Jones was 5-of-15 from the floor. Cam Reddish had 13 points as well.

Just as North Carolina's win over Iona was a wake-up call for the Tar Heels, narrowly avoiding an upset to UCF could galvanize the Blue Devils.

Texas Tech 78, Buffalo 58

Texas Tech owns the No. 1 adjusted defense in the country, per KenPom, and Sunday left no question why. The Red Raiders smothered Buffalo in a 78-58 win, holding the Bulls to 36.5 percent shooting and forcing 16 turnovers.

CJ Massinburg and Nick Perkins combined for 31 points, but Texas Tech effectively cut off Buffalo's supporting cast. Jeremy Harris in particular struggled. He averaged 14.2 points this season but finished with nine points on 3-of-13 shooting. Davonta Jordan, the team leader in assists (3.7), dished out just two dimes and had six turnovers.

Offensively, Texas Tech can be a bit too reliant on Jarrett Culver at times. However, balance was a strength for the Red Raiders this time around. All five starters scored in double figures, with Culver (16 points, 10 rebounds) leading the way.

Norense Odiase had a big game (14 points, 15 rebounds) and helped Tech gain a 45-32 edge on the glass.

Virginia Tech 67, Liberty 58

No. 12 Liberty tried to keep its dramatic postseason run alive but fell short against No. 4 Virginia Tech.

The Flames led by three points at the half and had a 44-41 lead at the 14-minute mark, but this was the beginning of the end.

Virginia Tech went on an 11-0 run from there to take control of the game, including this three-pointer from Ahmed Hill:

The Hokies never surrendered the lead and continually made big plays any time Liberty got close.

After the Flames went 12-of-25 from three-point range in the first-round win over Mississippi State, the team went just 10-of-31 in the Round 2 loss.

Justin Robinson looked good for Virginia Tech in his second game back from injury, totaling 13 points, four assists and two steals off the bench. Kevin Blackshear Jr. led all scorers with 19 points to go with his nine rebounds.

Virginia 63, Oklahoma 51

No. 1 Virginia showcased the dominant defense we have seen all season long to earn a 12-point win over No. 9 Oklahoma.

Leading-scorer Kyle Guy went just 2-of-15 from the field and 0-of-10 from three-point range, but the rest of the team picked up the slack offensively.

Mamadi Diakite stepped up in the post, finishing with 14 points, nine rebounds and three blocks as well as some big finishes offensively:

Meanwhile, the defense held Oklahoma to just 36.5 percent shooting, as the squad could never crawl out of its early hole. Virginia led by nine points at halftime and, after a quick bucket in the second half, led by double digits the rest of the game.

The Cavaliers will now take on No. 12 Oregon.

Houston 74, Ohio State 59

Houston continues to build on its incredible season with a trip to the Sweet 16, the first for the program since 1984.

The Cougars were in control most of the night, following the lead of Corey Davis Jr. with his 21 points, six rebounds and three steals:

Galen Robinson Jr. also filled up the stat sheet with 13 points, five assists and six steals.

It wasn't the best shooting day for Houston, which finished 5-of-19 from three-point range (including Davis' 3-of-9), but the Cougars found a way to score consistently and stay in front of Ohio State.

Buckeyes star Kaleb Wesson—who had 21 points and 12 rebounds in a Round 1 win over Iowa State—was held to 15 points and six rebounds with only three made field goals as Houston's double-teams kept him in check all game.

Houston will now face Kentucky in the Sweet 16.

Oregon 73, UC Irvine 54

Oregon showed that it's much better than a typical No. 12 seed with another impressive performance in Round 2.

The Ducks relied on their athleticism to gain an advantage, with Kenny Wooten doing damage everywhere on the court:

The sophomore finished with seven blocks to go with his 11 points and eight rebounds.

Payton Pritchard did his job on the offensive end, finishing with 18 points and seven assists in the win.

UC Irvine gave it a run in the second half by scoring the first 14 points after halftime, keeping the Ducks scoreless for more than six minutes. However, it wasn't enough as Oregon turned it on late and pulled away for the easy win.

The Pac-12 tournament champs will try to keep it going against Virginia in the Sweet 16.
