With a huge surprise the March Madness. Kentucky, number two in the East, was left out of the sequel by the 15th St. Peters in the “64” phase. The Peacocks prevailed 85-69 over the Wildcats in overtime with 27 points from Daryl Banks who had 5/8 three points.
On the contrary, three of the four No1s of the same number of regions had an easy task. In the East, the Baylor (No. 1) defeated Norfolk State 85-49, in the West Gonzaga (No. 1) with a great performance by Drew Timmy (32 points, 13 rebounds) and Chet Holggren (19 points, 17 rebounds, 7 blocks) crushed Georgia State 93-72, while in the Midwest Kansas (No1) “cleaned” with Texas 86-53 the South Southern.
