Eastern Michigan sends Duke home
NCAA TOURNAMENT
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Eastern Michigan managed to do what no other team has since 1955 — beat Duke in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Earl Boykinss scored 23 points and Brian Tolbert had 20 as the Eagles upset the Blue Devils 75-60 yesterday in the Southeast Regional.
Eastern Michigan, the ninth seed, will play first-seeded Connecticut in the second round on tomorrow.
"The most important part of basketball is confidence," Boykins said. "We knew we could play with Duke. They're not the top-ranked team in the country anymore. Once we got past that part, it was just a matter of going out and playing."
Coach Ben Braun said his team might have been a little tentative in the first half, which ended with the teams died at 26. But they came out
Tolbert was fouled by Taymon Domzalski on his first shot in the second half, and converted the free throw to break the tie.
quick in the second half, and Duke never had a chance.
Duke was called for goalending 15 seconds later, and Eastern Michigan took the lead for good at 31-26 with 18:39 left.
"In the first half, we were looking at the 'Duke' on their shirts," Tolbert said. "After we settled down and played the guys in the shirts, it was a different game."
The Eagles extended their lead to 39-30 with 14:19 remaining as Derrick Dial rolled off six quick points during an 8-2 run. Greg Newton answered with two dunks and had cut the Eagles' lead to five with 12:17 left, but the Blue Devils got no closer.
Jeff Capel and Newton led Duke with 15 each, and Ricky Price had
14. But they were no match for Boykins, who thrilled the crowd with his quick feet and superb ball-handling skills.
The 5-foot-7 guard dished out a game-high five assists, including one to Theron Wilson that gave Eastern Michigan its final basket with 15.8 seconds to go.
"He plays with so much confidence and heart, and that spread throughout the team," Tolbert said of Boykins. "He makes so many things happen, he makes everything so much easier, offensively and defensively."
Wilson's basket was Eastern Michigan's only one in the final two minutes, but it didn't matter. Duke managed to score only twice and Boykins made six free throws.
This was the Eagles' first appearance in the NCAA tournament since 1991, when they made it to the regional semifinals before losing to
North Carolina 93-67.
The Blue Devils, the eighth seed, were back in the tournament after staying home last year for the first time since 1985. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had been optimistic about his team's chances, especially since the Blue Devils were playing at the RCA Dome, where they won the NCAA title in 1991.
But Duke has had a rash of injuries lately — Chris Collins is recovering from the flu and Steve Wojciechowski has a sprained ankle — and the Blue Devils couldn't keep up with Eastern Michigan.
"They're deeper and in better shape than we are," Krzeyzewski said. "Like the old saying, The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
The Eagles also dominated on the boards, outrebounding Duke 38-32. Boykins took Collins out of his game, holding the senior guard to 11 points.
Second-half surge seals Kentucky victory
The Associated Press
DALLAS — San Jose State thought it had a monumental upset brewing against Kentucky. Then the second half started.
The Spartans, one of only two teams in the NCAA tournament with a losing record, stayed with top-seeded Kentucky throughout the first half yesterday.
But Kentucky's pressure wore the Spartans out in the final 20 minutes, and the Wildcats won 110-72 in the first round of the Midwest Regional.
via a school-record 35 assists.
"We absolutely hit the wall," San Jose State coach Stan Morrison said. "You saw the element of depth and what that can do. The dam broke and there's a great price to be paid, and we paid it to an outstanding team."
Walter McCarty tied his career high with 24 points, Tony Delk scored 22 and Kentucky forced 26 turnovers. The Wildcats' 42 field goals came
Kentucky coach Rick Pitino said he was most proud of the fact that his players never panicked.
Kentucky, 29-2, only led by six at halftime, and the margin was just 12 points with 12 minutes left in the game. Then the Wildcats scored on seven straight possessions — dunks, three-pointers, layups, you name it — and the game was finished.
"We were concerned, but we never panicked," he said.
The Spartans, 13-17, didn't have many problems with Kentucky's press in the first half, attacking it successfully and making their first five shots.
San Jose State spent most of the half trading leads with Kentucky, and led by four points on two occasions. The Spartans shot 61 percent in the first half and outrebounded the Wildcats 21-15.
"If the game was 20 minutes long, we could have had a great chance to win the game," Spartan guard Tito Addison said. "I knew they weren't playing the way they usually play. I thought we really had a chance during the first half."
San Jose State actually started to fade late in the half. The Spartans' last lead was 37-35 on a layup by Addison with 4:38 left before halftime. They made just two field goals the rest of the half, missed three free throws and committed three turnovers as Kentucky took a six-point halftime lead.
In the second half, San Jose State was just three of 15 with eight turnovers in the opening eight minutes, and Kentucky took advantage, widening its lead to 66-52.
Jahi Bacon made a shot with 11:46 remaining to get the Spartans within 66-54, then Kentucky buried them by scoring on the seven straight possessions.
Delk finished the run with a three-pointer that made the score 81-59, and the Wildcats continued to widen their lead after that.
Delk and McCarty said they weren't surprised by the problems San Jose State presented in the first half.
McCartyagreed.
"They came out and played great. It's not like we weren't playing with a lot of intensity, he said. "They were just playing great basketball."
Olivier Saint-Jean, bothered by foul trouble, scored 18 for San Jose State and fouled out in the closing minutes. Addison had 16 and Sam Allen 15.
