Live57 updates

  • Flau’jae Johnson and the Tigers have taken complete control in Baton Rouge, leading 69-49.

    LSU has outscored MTSU 9-0 in the 4th quarter so far.

  • Final: Purdue 106, Utah State 67

    The Boilermakers rolled with ease in this one. Zach Edey had 23 points and 14 rebounds while Trey Kaufman-Renn added 18 and 8 in the win.

  • It’s getting a little testy out there as the third quarter comes to a close. The Tigers have pulled out to a comfortable 10-point lead.

  • Flau’jae Johnson is having herself a game. She has 19 points now and LSU is up 8 as the third quarter winds down.

    Hailey Van Lith is back in the game, subbing in for Last-Tear Poa.

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg

    Hailey Van Lith remains on the bench for LSU and the broadcast reported she’s been “emotional” and “inconsolable.” There have been a few key moments this season Van Lith has been benched, but this feels different. Kim Mulkey has built up Van Lith, who is playing out of position at point guard, down the last stretch of the season with comments on how well she’s doing.

    Van Lith is 0-2, including a 3 attempt, with two assists, one turnover and one foul.

  • LSU is on a 9-0 run and we’re tied at 41-41.

  • Final: Colorado 63, Kansas 50

    The Buffs hit a cold spell in the fourth quarter and didn’t shoot that well throughout (35%), but they’ll survive here and move on to the Sweet 16.

  • Meanwhile, the Purdue men are coasting vs. Utah State. A Sweet 16 trip looks imminent for the Boilermakers.

  • Buffaloes closing in on a victory, up 56-49 with 1:07 to go.

  • Halftime: Middle Tennessee 36, LSU 32

    The defending champs are getting a serious battle from No. 11 Middle Tennessee.

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg

    The crew here in the studio green room is locked into every minute of LSU-Middle Tennessee. Raiders took the lead with second- and third-chances on the offensive end. The rebounding advantage feels a lot larger than +4. If Raiders keep controlling the paint, LSU’s guards need to step up.

  • No. 4 Kansas State trails No. 5 Colorado 52-42 after 3 quarters. Gut check time for K-State.

  • Zach Edey has 21 points and 11 rebounds at half. The Boilermakers are up 49-33.

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fo.aolcdn.com%2Fimages%2Fdims%3Fimage uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs.yimg

    Updated snap judgment: Utah State is no longer generating any clean looks on offense anymore and its contested jump shots aren’t falling.

    This one could be over quickly, if it’s not already.

  • Zach Edey is a tough matchup regardless of who he’s playing.

  • Can LSU avoid the upset today? The Yahoo Sports crew weighs in on what the Tigers need to do:

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fo.aolcdn.com%2Fimages%2Fdims%3Fimage uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs.yimg

    Snap judgment: Purdue is going to pile up points and fouls on Utah State. Whether the Aggies can keep it close is going to depend on how the Boilermakers defend ball screens at the other end.

    Utah State coach Danny Sprinkle is determined to pull Zach Edey away from the basket with pick-and-pops or force him to defend in space against smaller quicker guards. If Purdue successfully counters that, it wins easily. If not, the Boilermakers could face game pressure down the stretch.

  • The Aggies came to play today. They’re matching Purdue blow for blow as the first half hits the midway point

  • Purdue and Utah State is underway on the men’s side. The Boilermakers came into the game 11.5-point favorites.

  • A slick play at the end of the half by K-State’s Serena Sundell. She threw the ball off a Colorado defender’s back and got off a layup as time expired.

  • Final: South Carolina 88, North Carolina 41

    The Gamecocks were not messing around in this one. MiLaysia Fulwiley continues his impressive run with 20 points and 9 rebounds.

  • Casual 4-point play for K-State

  • Much like the Colorado men, the women’s team is also trying to pull an upset.

    Kansas State has the upper hand for now

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg

    Huge win for Duke to advance to the Sweet 16. Ohio State’s offense didn’t show up and just barely kept its streak of games with a 3-pointer alive with their first and only make in the final 12 seconds. It’s now at 362 games.

    There was only one upset in the first round. But already within one game of the second round, a No. 2 seed is heading home. Though there still isn’t enough parity through the full 68-team field for big-time upsets in the first round, this is what we’ve been talking about when we say the middle of the pack is all strong.

  • Final: Marquette 81, Colorado 77

    Tyler Kolek is the hero for Marquette with 21 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and some clutch play down the stretch to lift the Golden Eagles past the Buffs and into the Sweet 16. A healthy Kolek makes this Marquette team dangerous in the tourney.

  • Final: Duke 75, Ohio State 63

    We have our first big upset of the women’s tournament as the Blue Devils pull off the second-round stunner and punch the first ticket to the Sweet 16. Reigan Richardson was the difference, finishing with 28 points and 7 rebounds.

  • The Colorado-Marquette game is going to come down to free throws.

  • Tyler Kolek has 19 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds.

  • We are locked at 74 with three minutes left.

  • The Blue Devils are up late thanks mostly to Reigan Richardson, who has 25 points.

  • MiLaysia Fulwiley has 11 points and 5 rebounds and the Gamecocks are rolling.

  • Every time Colorado ties it up, Marquette goes on another run. The Golden Eagles scored five straight points after this shot.

  • This could be huge down the stretch.

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg

    Ohio State’s struggles from 3 could mean an early exit here. The Buckeyes are 0-8 from the perimeter after shooting 35.6% from there this season. They haven’t made fewer than four in a game this year.

    Going 16-of-23 from the free throw line could also prove detrimental with it a one-possession game.

  • Can the Buckeyes rally in the final quarter?

  • Colorado briefly took its first lead of the game before Marquette went on an 8 run.

  • In the first women’s game, the Blue Devils have taken the lead as the third quarter comes to a close. Duke’s Reigan Richardson has come alive and leads her team with 18.

  • South Carolina is up 28-10 at the end of the first quarter. So yeah, the Gamecocks are not messing around.

  • dims?image uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg

    South Carolina is not playing around today. Five players have scored, points are coming from every level (3-of-4 from 3, my goodness) and ZERO of the Gamecocks’ blocks so far are from Kamilla Cardoso. Bree Hall and freshman guard MiLaysia Fulwiley each have one.

  • Colorado and Marquette are back for the second half and the Buffs are making a charge.

  • The Gamecocks have to be happy to have Kamilla Cardoso back in the lineup.

  • The Battle of the Carolinas is underway in the Albany 1 region. South Carolina beat North Carolina 65-58 earlier this season in one of the Gamecocks’ closer games.

  • The men’s game is also headed to half. Marquette is shooting an eye-poppin 68 percent from the floor. The Golden Eagles are up 45-34. Kam Jones has 16.

  • Ohio State is heading into halftime with a 36-32 lead. Cotie McMahon leads all scorers with 14 points.

  • The Buffs are starting to make a charge late in the first half. We know from their opener that they can score points in bunches.

  • The Buckeyes are still in control as this one nears halftime.
