Ohio State-Indiana

Press Notes

The seventh-ranked Buckeyes continue their push for a Big
Ten tournament title and possible top seed in the NCAA tournament Friday when
they face hometown favorite Indiana
at Conseco Field house in Indianapolis.
The top-seeded Buckeyes (24-4) struggled to put away Penn
State
63-56 in the opening game of
the quarterfinals. Ohio State
has won six straight games and 10 of its last 11. Indiana
(18-10), the fifth seed, also rallied Thursday to win its quarterfinal game.
Marco Killingsworth and Marshall Strickland combined
for 28 second-half points as the Hoosiers defeated Wisconsin
61-56 for their fifth consecutive win since coach Mike
Davis announced his resignation, effective at season’s end.

Wake Forest-Duke

Press Notes

The Blue Devils (28-3) struggled against Miami
– a team that closed the regular season by losing six of seven – but pulled out
an 80-76 victory in Friday’s quarterfinals. Duke did manage to bounce back from
consecutive losses to end the regular season, 79-74 at Florida
State
on March 1 and 83-76 at home
to No. 10 North Carolina last Saturday. Duke won both
meetings with Wake this season, including a 93-70 victory in
Durham on Feb. 14. The Blue Devils have won three straight in the
series since dropping three of four.

Kentucky-South Carolina

Amnews

Kentucky
beat South Carolina twice during
the season, including an 80-78 decision Jan. 21 when Rajon
Rondo hit an off-balanced 3-pointer in the final seconds.

Texas A&M-Texas

Associated Press

For what the Aggies did on
Friday in the second round of the Big 12 tournament was absolutely carve up
Ricardo Patton’s Buffaloes from Colorado, 86-53, for their eighth win in a row,
which is a run far more impressive than the 10-0 record they put together at
season’s start against, for the most part, a bunch of SWAC
teams. There aren’t many hotter teams in the country right now, which is the
most critical test period as far as the folks who hand out NCAA Tournament
invitations are concerned. If the Aggies weren’t
already on the list, they are now.
