Top-seed Kentucky knocks off Indiana
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 25 - 03 - 2012

Anthony Davis had a rather quiet night. No worries. He's got plenty of help at Kentucky.
The top-seeded Wildcats took care of the team that beat them back in early December and are off to another regional final, putting all their weapons on display in a 102-90 victory over gritty Indiana Friday.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 24 points and four other players were in double figures for Kentucky (35-2), which made up for a 73-72 loss to the Hoosiers.
Davis, the Wildcats' freshman star, wasn't a huge factor after picking up two early fouls, finishing with nine points and 12 rebounds. Kidd-Gilchrist took the starring role with a double-double, also grabbing 10 rebounds. Doron Lamb had 21 points, Darius Miller 19, Marquis Teague 14 and Terrence Jones 12.
Christian Watford had 27 points to lead the Hoosiers (27-9), whose comeback season ended two wins shy of the Final Four. Indiana, which won a total of 28 games the previous three seasons, has regained its usual place among the college basketball bluebloods under coach Tom Crean. But Big Blue is moving on to its third straight regional final.
Kentucky next faces Baylor.
North Carolina beats Ohio
The last of the little guys gave North Carolina a massive scare.
Harrison Barnes scored five of his 12 points in overtime and the top-seeded Tar Heels escaped a huge upset with a 73-65 victory over No. 13 seed Ohio in the Midwest Regional semifinals.
Ohio, trying to become the first team seeded 13th or worse to make the regional finals since the NCAA tournament expanded in 1985, had a chance to convert a three-point play that would have given the Bobcats the lead with 25 seconds left in regulation. Walter Offutt missed from the line, however, and Ohio went 0 for 6 from the field in the first overtime of this year's tournament.
North Carolina plays Kansas Sunday afternoon for a trip to the Final Four.
Kansas downs NC State
Thomas Robinson kept missing easy buckets. Tyshawn Taylor had a shooting performance he'd rather soon forget. Kansas made just two shots from outside 5 feet, and seemed to be in constant trouble against North Carolina State. Yet a smile kept creeping across Robinson's face. Taylor spent most of the second half Friday trying to calm down coach Bill Self, who was stomping along the Jayhawks' sideline.
Xavier falls to Baylor
Chris Mack warned his Xavier players they would face a talent disadvantage against Baylor. The coach didn't count on that disadvantage leaving his team down by 18 points less than 8 minutes into the game.
Xavier rallied but could never catch Baylor, falling to the Bears 75-70 in the NCAA South regional semifinal.
