Round of 64
No. 2 Cincinnati Bearcats vs. No. 15 Georgia State Panthers
Line: Cincinnati -14
On a day that featured UMBC's historic upset over top-overall seed Virginia, No. 2 Cincinnati looked like it might also go down against Georgia State. The Bearcats trailed 47-46 with less than 10 minutes left in a game that appeared to be an easy cover for the underdog.
The Panthers, however, couldn't get anything going down the stretch. Not only would there be no upset, but Cincinnati went on a 22-6 run to take a 15-point lead with 41 seconds left. After covering for the first 39:19 of game time, Georgia State now needed a late score to reward bettors who backed them. Devin Mitchell's missed 3-pointer would seal the fate of those on the underdog, as the Bearcats covered by one point.
Final score: Cincinnati 68, Georgia State 53 (Cincinnati covers)
