1 The number of shots (1) made by Arkansas senior forward Steven Hill during the Razorbacks stunning 92-91 upset of the Tennessee Volunteers during the SEC tournament semi-finals. Hill made only two attempts and played just ten minutes in the game, but he nailed a game-winning turnaround jumper with 5.3 seconds left in regulation. Hill, who put his team in the SEC title game and locked up an invite to the NCAA tourney, later said, "I obviously did not expect to take that shot-or any shot that late in the game. They gave it to me and time was running out, so I kind of threw it up there and put it in."

10 The number of years (10) since Clemson last made the NCAA Tourney-but it had been even longer since the Tigers beat Duke, a feat last accomplished by the school in 1997. Clemson upset the seventh-ranked Blue Devils on Saturday 78-74 in the ACC tournament semi-finals, a victory that sent the club to their first conference tournament title game in 46 years. Cliff Hammonds, a senior guard for Clemson, said, "We're trying to prove we can play with anybody in the country-we can beat anybody in the country." Clemson will get their chance, as they are headed to the big dance.
