Alabama became the first team to advance to the Elite Eight on Thursday with an incredible 3-point performance from the Crimson Tide. Nate Oats’ squad won 113-88 with a men’s NCAA Tournament-record 25 made 3s on a record-51 attempts. Later, No. 1 seed Florida dispatched No. 4 seed Maryland 87-71 to send two SEC teams to the Elite Eight.

The remaining games from Thursday’s games were more compelling: Though Duke was largely in control of its game vs. Arizona, the Blue Devils still had to fight off a Wildcats team desperate to avoid its season ending, finally emerging with a seven-point lead. Elsewhere, John Calipari’s No. 10 seed Arkansas team squandered a 16-point lead to lose 85-83 in overtime.
