    No. 12 seed Cornell dominates Temple (AP)

    Confident, relaxed and definitely on their game. Cornell lived up to its billing as the best team to come out of the Ivy League in more than a decade, and now the senior-heavy Big Red have a chance for a nice run in the East Regional of the NCAA tournament. "Everyone was saying we were Cinderella or it's an upset.

    Lucas' 25 help Spartans avoid upset (AP)

    A career night from Kalin Lucas. A late comeback by Raymar Morgan. And a lane violation, of all things. That's what it took to keep Michigan State moving on in yet another NCAA tournament. Difficult seems to be the only way these Spartans know. Lucas scored a career-high 25 points and Morgan emerged from a quiet night by hitting key shots down the stretch as fifth-seeded Michigan State, uneven as...

    Gonzaga hangs on to beat Seminoles 67-60 (AP)

    In his four seasons at Gonzaga, Matt Bouldin is familiar with what it takes to come through in the clutch. It was Bouldin's composure -- and the 14 points he scored in the second half -- that allowed the eighth-seeded Bulldogs to avoid squandering an 18-point lead and hang on for a 67-60 victory over Florida State on Friday night in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

    No. 8 Cal holds off No. 9 Louisville (AP)

    California's distractions now seem about as distant as the Pacific Ocean. That disappointing loss in the Pac-10 tournament? Getting sent across the country to open the NCAA tournament? The suspension of a starter? The Golden Bears overcame them all -- and showed even more resiliency in the first round against Louisville.

    WVU overcomes early scare, rolls to win (AP)

    The way West Virginia was missing one shot after another, the thought actually crossed forward Kevin Jones' mind whether the Mountaineers would ever hit a basket. After missing their first 11 attempts, the second-seeded Mountaineers eventually found their range Friday -- and have Jones to thank for leading the way.

    Top-seeded Orange cruise past Vermont (AP)

    Five years ago Vermont shocked Syracuse in overtime in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Catamounts never had a chance to duplicate that amazing moment. Wes Johnson had 18 points to lead five Syracuse players in double figures, and the top-seeded Orange beat Vermont 79-56 on Friday night in the first round of NCAA tournament.

    Duke rolls by Arkansas-Pine Bluff 73-44 (AP)

    Duke's confident mascot wore a piece of tape across his forehead that read: "Played In, Blown Out." The Blue Devils didn't disappoint. Avoiding the upset bug that has taken down several favorites in the NCAA tournament, the top-seeded Atlantic Coast Conference champions opened play in the South Regional with a dominating 73-44 victory Friday night over No.

    St. John's fires Roberts after 6 seasons (AP)

    The weeks of talk on whether coach Norm Roberts would return to St. John's ended Friday: He was fired after six seasons with the Red Storm -- only two of them with a winning record. "To say it was a difficult decision would be to minimize it," St. John's athletic director Chris Monasch said.

    4th-seeded Badgers get by Wofford 53-49 (AP)

    Slow and plodding early, fast and frantic late. No matter the tempo, Wisconsin stayed poised against pesky Wofford. It's exactly what coach Bo Ryan expected from his team, which has plenty of NCAA tournament experience. And in the end, the Badgers did exactly what they do best -- play defense. Jon Leuer followed a huge jump shot with an even more critical steal on the other end, and the...

    Turner held to 9 but Buckeyes beat UCSB (AP)

    After making a late layup, Evan Turner turned to run back down the court, shaking his head. It was supposed to be another chance for the Ohio State star to stand out on a big stage. Instead, it was one of the worst shooting nights of his career. As it turns out, that didn't matter at all for Ohio State.
