Compiled from staff reports and electronic dispatches

Memphis marches on

 

Top-seeded Memphis outscored Bucknell, 15-2, during a second half run, building a cushion it rode to a 72-56 victory Sunday in the second round of the NCAA tournament In Dallas.

Antonio Anderson scored 13 points and Joey Dorsey added 12, helping the Conference USA champions win for the 21st time in 22 games and improve to 32-3.


Former Holland aide leads team into Sweet 16

George Mason is in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament after rallying past third-seded North Carolina 65-60 on Sunday afternoon in Dayton, OH.

The Patriots, coached by Jim Larranaga, return home to Washington, DC, to meet seventh-seeded Wichita State in the regional semifinals on Friday night.

Larranaga was on East Carolina athletic director Terry Holland's coaching staff at Virginia from 1979 to 1986. The Cavaliers won the NIT in 1980 and reached the Final Four in 1981 and 1984.

George Mason (25-7) became the first CAA team to reach the Sweet 16 since 1988, when Richmond advanced. It was the second straight shocker for the Patriots, who defeated sixth-seeded Michigan State 75-65 on Friday in the first round for their first-ever NCAA Tournament victory.


Cowboy grapplers lasso NCAA title

Oklahoma State won its 34th national wrestling championship with 122.5 team points, 38.5 points ahead of runner-up Minnesota, at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

OSU finished the tournament with six All-Americans, the most of any school in the event. The Cowboys and Minnesota each had two individual champions.

“We basically dominated,” concluded OSU coach John Smith on the university's athletic web site.

Johny Hendricks successfully defended his title at 165 pounds and Jake Rosholt was never threatened in the finals at 197.
