3 The number of overtimes (3) it took for Boise State to beat New Mexico State in the WAC tournament title game. Reggie Larry, who led the Broncos with 31 points in the 107-102 thriller, earned MVP honors for the tournament. The win gives Boise State an invite to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 14 years.
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.
20 The number of games (20) the Coppin St. Eagles have lost this season-but despite a 16-20 record, they are going to the NCAA tournament after a last second 62-60 victory over top-seeded Morgan State in the Mid-Eastern Conference tournament title game. Tywain McKee scored the winning basket with two seconds left on the clock, the last of his team high 33 points. The Eagles began the season 4-19, but have now won 12 out of their last 13 games.
500 The free throw percentage (.500) for Pittsburgh during their 74-65 victory over Georgetown in the Big East Tournament championship game. Pitt made only half of their attempts, but they went to the line 44 times, compared to only nine times for the top-seeded Hoyas. Georgetown made more field goals (25-23) and more treys (8-6) than Pitt, but also committed more fouls (28-12). Sam Young scored 16 points for Pitt and was named tournament MVP.
