Games 553-554: Quarterfinal Friday
554 - (14) Rutgers vs. (3) Purdue
Big 10 quarterfinals
March 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY
The Edwards' - Vince and Carsen - each scored 26 points as the Boilermakers moved into the semis with an 82-75 win.
Vince was 10-of-14 from the field and Carsen made 10-of-11 from the line to help the No. 3 seed erase a three-point halftime deficit. Both players knocked down four 3-pointers and the Boilermakers hit 13 as a team.
Great night for Corey Sanders - 23 points, 11-of-20 from the field - in a losing effort for the Scarlet Knights, who won games over 11-seed Minnesota and sixth-seeded Indiana to reach the quarters.
553 - (9) Saint Peter's vs. (1) Rider
MAAC quarterfinals
March 2 at Times Union Center in Albany, NY
Huge upset in Albany as the Peacocks out-played the regular season champion and advanced with a 66-55 win.
It's the first time in the tournament's history a nine has defeated a one and Saint Peter's did it with defense - Rider shot just 30% from the field and missed 18 of its 21 three-point attempts - and a balanced offense that saw five players score at least nine points, led by Samuel Idowu's 12 points.
The fact Saint Peter's pulled off the huge upset was a bit of a surprise, but I'm not surprised the Broncs had trouble. The Peacocks lost both regular season games between the two teams, but by a combined seven points.
Saint Peter's (14-17) has already had a memorable tournament. In Thursday's first round game against eighth-seeded Monmouth, Nick Griffin's 3-pointer with five seconds left was the difference in a 60-58 victory.

Game 468 - Rutgers at Purdue
January 3 at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, IN
Big 10 Network
This was definitely a strength against a strength situation as Rutgers came into the night as one of the better defensive teams in the country and Purdue as one of the nation's better three-point shooting teams.
It was lopsided in the Boilermakers' favor.
Purdue his 10 threes and shot 50% overall from the field in its 10th consecutive victory, 82-51.
The Scarlet Knights (now 0-3 in conference play) entered play sixth nationally in both scoring defense and field goal percentage defense, and actually did a pretty decent job inside the paint, especially considering Purdue boasts 7-2 Isaac Haas and 7-3 Matt Haarms (the pair combined for 18 points, 14 of which came from Haas, in 51 combined minutes). But the hosts' outside shooting was too much to overcome. Purdue, 12th nationally in three-point percentage, hit 7-of-12 from behind the arc in the opening half to go up 45-24 at the break and were never really threatened much throughout the night.
Reserve guard Ryan Cline led the way with a 4-for-6 night from distance.
Haas and Haarms, who added six rebounds each and four blocked shots (three from the redshirt-freshman Haarms) also negated a Rutgers team that was second in the country in offensive rebounds. The Scarlet Knights averaged 16 coming in, but grabbed just six Wednesday.
Rutgers got as close as 57-42 with 11 minutes to go, but allowed a 18-3 run over the next seven minutes.

Games 387-388: Sweet night
NCAA Tournament regional semifinals
388 - (4) Purdue vs. (1) Kansas
387 - (7) Michigan vs. (3) Oregon
March 23 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO
CBS
The top seed Jayhawks and third-seeded Ducks will meet in Saturday's regional final.
Kansas turned a seven-point halftime lead into a lopsided, 98-66 victory mainly because the Jayhawks have three terrific guards.
Frank Mason is a national player of the year candidate for a reason: the senior can do it all. Thursday, Mason had 26 points (9-of-11 from field, 4-of-5 from three), seven assists and seven rebounds and was in complete control of the Jayhawks' offense. Devonte Graham also scored 26 (7-of-15, 5-of-9), while Josh Jackson added 15 points and 12 rebounds. In fact, the freshman Jackson had three more rebounds than the Purdue duo of 6-9 Caleb Swanigan and 7-2 Isaac Haas.
Kansas was only up six about six minutes into the second half, but rolled the rest of the way and shot 53% from three-point range.
The Big 12 regular season champion is right now playing better than anyone in this tournament.
In the first game of the night, Michigan's Derrick Walton missed a three with about three seconds to go that would've been the game-winner as Oregon survived, 69-68.
Walton's final collegiate game was another good one - 20 points and eight assists - though for once, it wasn't enough. Zak Ervin was also really good for Michigan - he and Walton combined for 39 points on 14-of-24 shooting, but the rest of the team shot just 11-of-34 from the field.
Outstanding game for Oregon's Jordan Bell, who scored 16 points and was a monster on the glass with 13 rebounds. He and Tyler Dorsey (20 points, including five threes) are the big reasons why Oregon is in the Elite 8 for the second consecutive season looking for its first final four since the first tournament back in 1939.
