We can start calling this March Madness the season of Cinderella stories! #2 Michigan State lost to #15 Middle Tennessee, #3 West Virginia lost to #14 Stephen F. Austin, and #5 Purdue lost to #12 University of Arkansas-Little Rock in one day. The University of Hawaiʻi played a strong game against a battered Cal team who lost their leading scorer to injury and struggled with foul trouble. UH G Quincy Smith had a heck of a game with 21 points on 7 of 9 shooting and helped the Warriors to keep their lead all night. UH will now celebrate their first-ever NCAA tournament win after defeating the Bears and will advance to play Maryland.
