>>Wichita State Dominates In State Rival Kansas To Get To Sweet-16

Tekele Cotton scored 19 points to lead five Wichita State players in double figures as the Shockers posted a 78-65 win over the Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

Fred VanVleet totaled 17 points, six rebounds, six assists and four steals for the seventh-seeded Shockers (30-4), who advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years. They will face Notre Dame in the Midwest Region semifinals.

Evan Wessel provided a spark for the Shockers in the Sunflower State showdown, scoring 12 points on four 3-pointers and grabbing nine rebounds. Ron Baker also had 12 points and Darius Carter added 10.

Perry Ellis and Devonte' Graham contributed 17 points apiece for second-seeded Kansas (27-9), which was held to 35.1 percent shooting in the first meeting between the schools since Jan. 6, 1993.

>>Wisconsin Gets By Oregon For Second Straight Year

It was exactly one year ago that Wisconsin and Oregon battled for a Sweet 16 berth.

The two teams clashed Sunday in the NCAA Tournament with the same stakes.

Once again, Wisconsin prevailed.

Sam Dekker scored 17 points, Frank Kaminsky had 16 and the top-seeded Badgers posted a 72-65 win over the Ducks.

The win by Wisconsin (33-3) sets up a matchup with fourth-seeded North Carolina in the West Region semifinals in Los Angeles.

Joseph Young poured in 30 points for the eighth-seeded Ducks (26-10), who last year squandered a double-digit, second-half lead and lost 85-77 to the Badgers in the tourney's third round in Milwaukee.

>>Michigan State Upsets Second-Seed Virginia

Travis Trice scored 13 of his 23 points in the opening 5 1/2 minutes of the game to give Michigan State the lead and the Spartans managed to hold on for a 60-54 victory over Virginia, knocking the Cavaliers out of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row.

Branden Dawson added 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks for the Spartans (25-11), who are seeded seventh in the East Region and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in the last eight years. Michigan State will next play third-seeded Oklahoma on Friday in Syracuse.

Anthony Gill scored 11 points for Virginia and Darion Atkins contributed 10 with 14 rebounds in defeat. The Cavaliers (30-4) became the first ACC team to lose in this year's tournament, as the conference won its first nine games prior to Sunday.

These teams also met last year in the NCAA Tournament, as Michigan State knocked off a top-seeded Virginia squad in the East Region semifinals at Madison Square Garden by a 61-59 decision.

Michigan State's victory opens the door in the East Region as top-seeded Villanova was knocked off Saturday by North Carolina State.

>>Louisville Takes Down Northern Iowa

Terry Rozier led the way with 25 points and seven assists as Louisville defeated Northern Iowa 66-53 in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

Montrezl Harrell chipped in with 14 points and six rebounds, while Quentin Snider and Wayne Blackshear each scored 10 for the fourth-seeded Cardinals (26-8), who will face eighth-seeded North Carolina State Friday in their fourth straight Sweet 16 appearance.

Seth Tuttle provided 14 points and seven boards, while Nate Buss had 11 points for the fifth-seeded Panthers (31-4), who were coming off a 74-54 victory over Wyoming in the second round.
