Florida(1) vs Dayton(11): Can the Flyers run continue? They pulled away from Stanford in late in the first half and never looked back. They did it by being very efficient inside, shooting 57% from two point range, 7% better than during the regular season. They weren't nearly as dominant on the defensive glass though, picking up just 62% of those chances. The Gators meanwhile forced the Bruins of UCLA into one of their worst perimeter shooting efforts of the season. UCLA hit just 16% from beyond the arc, while posting just a 1.5 assist to turnover ratio. Offensively, it will be interesting to see if the Gators can get back to hitting threes, especially Scott Wilbekin, who went just 2/8 from distance.
Arizona(1) vs Wisconsin(2): Arizona had to pull out all the stops to get past the Aztecs. Every player that logged at least ten minutes besides Gabe York posted an ORtg of at least 109. Nick Johnson made up for a poor night of shooting (2-12) by being perfect from the free throw line. The Wildcats were pretty adept getting to the line, getting an attempt on 52% of their field goals. Arizona continued their strong overall defense, forcing more than twice as many turnovers as assists for San Diego State, and also holding Xavier Thames to just 1-6 shooting from distance. The Badgers could turn this game into a defensive struggle though after their handling of Baylor, whom Wisconsin allowed just .84 points per possession. On the inside, Frank Kaminsky got the best of Isaiah Austin, going 8-11, while also blocking six shots.
