Texas Tech Sends North Carolina Home

Georgia Tech 103, Boston Coll. 89

Stephon Marbury showed B.C. why NBA scouts are drooling.

Marbury, the nation's most heralded freshman, scored a season-high 29 points and dazzled the Eagles with his dribbling and no-look passes. He played all but the final 1:20, adding nine assists, four steals and had no turnovers. He made 10 of 12 shots, including 6 of 7 three-pointers.

Georgia Tech (24-11) advanced to the round of 16 for the third time in seven seasons. Boston College (19-11), had been 5-0 in second-round NCAA tournament games.

DeJuan Wheat scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half and helped slow down Wildcat All-American Kerry Kittles.

Wheat made a fadeaway 18-footer with 26 seconds left and his two free throws with 15.1 seconds remaining gave the Cardinals (22-11) a five-point lead.

Kittles finished with 20 points, seven in the second half, and the Wildcats (26-7) finished their second straight season disappointed. They were eliminated in the first round last year.

Wake Forest 65, Texas 62

Wake Forest All-American Tim Duncan was weak with the flu and guard Tony Rutland hobbled with a knee injury, but the Demon Deacons (25-5) still rallied from 10 down in the second half.

Duncan, battling a stomach virus, was held to 13 points by the Longhorns' swarming defense and his own fatigue. Freshman Kris Clack led Texas (21-10) with 17 points.

Arizona 87, Iowa 73

Arizona made seven three-pointers in the first 15 minutes and outran Iowa from the opening tip.

Six of the third-seeded Wildcats scored in double figures, led by Ben Davis' 17 points. Reggie Geary, who scored 16 points, hit three of his first four three-pointers.

Kansas 76, Santa Clara 51

Raef LaFrentz hit his first seven shots and scored 19 points as the Jayhawks reached the round of 16 for the fourth straight year.
