Kevin Penno advances with Nevada while Brian Quisenberry is out with Texas.

Lucas Doxtater is a first round winner with UWM while coworker Norm Lord and Alabama are sent packing.

Boston College will provide Shane Savin with some round two excitement while Penn bows out early and takes Kevin Solwold with them. Sorry Kev.

UAB is one of three first round winners for Brian along with Pacific and Utah, who made losers of LSU and John Solwold, Sr., Pittsburgh and Mike Fuller and UTEP and Jay Warner, respectively.

Aaron Gretebeck is happy with Arizona crushing Utah St. and eliminating Scott Hendrichowski and with Eastern Kentucky covering against Kentucky. Aaron wrests Kentucky away from Chris Daun.

Jason Langreck stays alive after coach Bob Knight and his Red Raiders of Texas Tech dismantle the UCLA Bruins and Bruce Wolf's chance at greatness.

Brock and the West Virginia Mountaineers manage to cover by one half point on a dunk with two seconds left in what turned out to be the most exciting game of the day while Creighton and Gareth Trinko let one slip away.

Doug Clague rode the Chattanooga express to steal Wake Forest from Shane Savin. Good luck with the Deamon Decons, Doug.

Gareth Trinko moved into the field of 32 when Oklahoma smoked Niagara and blew any chance Mike Fuller had of advancing up in smoke.

Doug Clague pushed his second team, Cincinnati, into the second round with a victory over Brian Quisenberry and the Hawkeyes of Iowa.
