Meanwhile, Villanueva accounted for more than half of the Bucks' offensive output, exploding for 27 points and grabbing nine rebounds. The UConn product drained 11 straight Milwaukee points to open the affair, and hit on 6-of-8 threes before the break. Said Villanueva of his outstanding performance: "It doesn't mean anything to me.

Duke lies in wait at the bottom half of the bracket as the two-seed, but has certainly looked vulnerable at times this season. The three-seed and four-seed go Xavier and UConn respectively, and both should advance past the first round without much fuss. The 5-12 matchup pitting Drake and Western Kentucky should be fun to watch, with the winner having a real shot at Connecticut in the next round. Purdue is the sixth-see |

Connecticut avenged that loss with a 66-46 blowout of the Scarlet Knights less than a month later, and both teams are now on course for a potential clash in the tourney. UConn is hoping to get to the Final Four for the first time since 2004, and if it fails, it will leave the senior class as the first in 20 years to have not played in at least the national semifinals.

The most shocking part of this victory is that WVU dominated a bigger UConn team on the boards, 42-26, and that includes a 14-5 difference on the offensive glass. The Mountaineers shot a strong 46.6 percent from the floor and also connected on 18-of-27 shots from the foul line. Joining Alexander in the scoring onslaught |

The lead reached 13 on a few occasions midway through the stanza, but UConn slowly chipped away and made it a 70-65 game when Price drove through the lane for a layup with just over two minutes left.
