GAME 1 - INDIANA STATE Sycamores v COLORADO Buffaloes (10:00 a.m. HST)
State led by as much as 14-points but the Buffaloes fought all the way back to make it a 1-point game with less than a minute go to - actually missing a foul-shot that could have tied it.
With just over six seconds left Colorado missed a trey that would have tied the game.  Indiana St advance to semi-final #1 with a 72-67 victory.
Indiana State's win over Colorado is the first win over a Pac-12 team since 1947.
GAME 2 - UNLV Runnin' Rebels v HAWAI'I Rainbow Warriors (12:00 p.m. HST)
The game is underway with the Warriors getting the first possession.
18:32 and Hawai'i in transition breaks the double bagel (0-0) to start the scoring.
Neither team looking that sharp early on.  Warriors showing some "nervousness" in front of their home crowd.
Just under 16 to go and Hawai'i tied the game at five with a three.
Another three by the Warriors to make it an 8-7 lead.
10-2 run by the Rebels making it 17-10 for UNLV.
Hawai'i given and "administrative technical foul" for not having a player listed on the scoresheet.  UNLV makes the single foul-shot.
Warriors missing repeated opportunities… only upside is the Rebels are missing too.
UNLV finally score making it 20-10.
Rebels with the hoop and the harm to go up 23-10.
Rainbow Warriors come out of a time-out and drain a three to end the Rebels 16-2 run.
Warriors with the offensive board and the put-back for 2 - 23-15.
Hawai'i putting together their own run and it's now a 2-point game - Rebels led by as much as 13-points at one point.  Time-out UNLV - 24-22.
4:05 to go and the teams trade misses
2:14 - Hawai'i ties the game, then takes an offensive charge, then are fouled going to the hoop - now at the line for 2 and the lead.  Nail both for a 16-1 run and a 26-24 lead. 
Rebels tie it at 26.
Warriors come back for 2 - then the Rebels are sloppy with the ball and are called for over-and-back.
:58.6 - Hawai'i up 28-26
Sloppy basketball both ways
:00.8 - Warriors miss but get their own board - foul on UNLV - 1-and-1 - Warriors miss the foul-shot and the horns sounds on UNLV before the can get a shot off.
