Here's a note I wrote just a few minutes before tip-off of NC Central's 72-62 victory: Cory Alexander, don't let me down saying the word "basketball". Be the best Stan Lewter you can be.
Back in December, I scribbled down a similar message for Lewter before the Gardner-Webb-Wake Forest game, and Lewter came through with a fantastic performance. Alexander didn't quite reach that level, but 40 total mentions of the word "basketball" (one per game minute) is nothing to be ashamed of.
Play-by-play man Doug Sherman added 11 of his own for a broadcast total of 51 (1.27/game minute).
Well done, gentleman.

Games 371-372: Two more advance
372 - (11) Providence vs. (11) USC
371 - (16) NC Central vs. (16) UC-Davis
NCAA First Four

Incredible comeback by USC in the nightcap as the Trojans rallied from 17 down to win 75-71 and advance to play No. 6 seed SMU on Friday.
It was the seventh-largest comeback in NCAA history and the Pac 12 school's nation-leading 12th when trailing by 10 or more points. Providence led 46-29 early in the second, but USC chipped away and eventually took the last lead of the night (61-60) with just under seven minutes left on a jumper by Chimezie Metu.
Over the final 12 minutes of the game, USC made 11-of-17 field goals, including six straight during the stretch in which they completed the comeback and grabbed the lead. Starting with Metu's jumper, he and Bennie Boatwright (game-high 24 points) scored 12 of the Trojans' final 16 points.
UC-Davis has only been in Division I since 2007 and 10 years later, the Aggies picked up their first NCAA win, 67-63.
MEAC champion NC Central came into the night with the 10th-best field goal percentage defense in the country, but it was the Big West champions that were the best defensive team in Dayton. Central was held to 35% shooting & just 19% from three (5-of-26).
UC-Davis, which had the best player on the floor in Chima Moneke (18 points on 6-of-10 shooting with 12 rebounds), plays top seed Kansas in Friday's first round.
