#13 Iowa State won the Big 12 Title for the second straight time downing # 9 Kansas 70-66, Iowas State is known for their second half comebacks and this was a perfect example of a 'comeback kids' masterpiece. They were down by 14 going into the Half-Time, and were down 17 at one point, so Georges Niang decided to take it personally racking up 19 Pts, 5 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, in the game, but he couldn't have done it without the efforts of Abdel Nader (13 points), Jameel McKay, and Monte Morris (11 points each). It's always good news for Kansas to lose because
It was a fairly close game in the ACC Championship, #19 North Carolina fought #11 Notre Dame through most of the game. Marcus Paige notched 24 Pts, 2 Reb, 5 Ast, always an extremely reliable player, very good shooter and gives his all out effort. But the Fighting Irish held the lead throughout with their star player Jerian Grant leading the pack. Grant has always been very good but he took it to the next level when it mattered most, hitting up this stat-line 24 Pts, 10 Ast, 15/18 Free Throws. The Irish grabbed the title away from the state of North Carolina, first time in a few years that Duke nor North Carolina has won the ACC championship. Notre Dame: 90, North Carolina: 82.
Now we wait to fill out our brackets...
