some people love the underdogs, other people, they love to see the big boys get in there and rumble. this tournament's had a little bit of both. >> i heard you guys saying, this is beautiful.

that's all. >> i wouldn't have it any other way. and then there were 32, eight games today as teams try to punch their tickets to the sweet 16. sure it was the most beautiful day of the year outside, but this tournament only comes once a year. missing this one would be the pits, pitt versus the coach, billy donovan and the number one seeded gators pick it up. scottie's got the running three at the buzzer, and nails it. that puts florida up five at the break. they're going to take that big momentum from there. second half, james robinson, get that out of there says patrick young who looks anything but young. i have to tell you. where's his birth certificate. florida makes him pay on the other end. that's young with the alley-oop and florida advances 61-45. louisville won it all last year. next step, a repeat, taking down st. louis for a sweet 16 bid today, the bill cans not going down without a fight. second half down three, passed

down low to duane evans, gets the bucket and one. 16 points for him, we're tied at 27. a couple of points later, ahead to rob lowe, loved him in st. elmo's fire. he likes that bucket too. they take a opportunity lead, but a former george mason patriot leads beautiful back. that's luke hancock, who transferred from mason to the cardinals. knocking down three. and then there was one, one team from this area, still standing. uva fans, they may have had a heart attack last night. the team is still live after scaring the heck out of us last night. they survived a late scare, tony bennett was freaking out on the inside. you just know it. we're showing you the come back, though, anthony gill, he had 27 points off the bench.

all season. he cannot keep their season alive there. memphis moves on to face virginia, 71-66. >> in the game of basketball, you know you're going your way, or not going your way, you got to find a way to make plays and that last shot just didn't fall. like i said, it's a shot i usually hit. i can't get it back. it's always ones you wish you could get back. >> congratulate maurice creek and the george washington colonials. wizards fans have been accused of being in la la land before. this team can actually go to la la land and win.

they haven't swept the lakers in a season like this in ten years. so thank you, chris for derailing my show, now i'm late in the highlight. that's john wall, he was the biggest star in hollywood last night. he had 28 points, monster dunk there. meantime, former wizard nick young. young pushes gooden. look at him. this is my favorite. him and jordan hill going at it. he's getting a big hug right there. gooden was ejected, hill was ejected and young was hit with a technical. and after the dust settled, the wizards pick up the win. >> 117 to 107. so yes trk lakers are not the best team but still the fact they got the season sweep means something. the natts, 6-5 winners over the marlins today.
