Oakland (24-11) pulled off a massive first-round upset on Thursday, knocking off No. 3 Kentucky 80-76 to mark just its second NCAA Tournament victory in program history. The star of the show was senior guard Jack Gohlke, who came off the bench to bury 10 threes, coming just one shy of tying the NCAA Tournament record for most threes in a game. The Golden Grizzlies led for most of the second half and were able to hold on to send the blue blood packing back to Lexington.
NC State (23-14) continued its magical run through March by upsetting No. 6 Texas Tech in a 80-67 first-round victory on Thursday. This was a tight affair into the second half before the Wolfpack broke off a 9-0 run to give themselves a comfortable cushion for the rest of the game. Ben Middlebrooks stepped up off the bench with 21 points in the win.
