No. 11 seed Texas' upset of Gonzaga leaves only a handful of perfect March Madness brackets

AP News The pursuit of the perfect NCAA Tournament bracket continues, but only for a few people.

No. 11 seed Texas all but wiped out the remaining unblemished entries in the annual March Madness contests with its 74-68 upset of No. 3 Gonzaga on Saturday night.

After the win by the Longhorns, who started in the First Four, there were 22 perfect entries in ESPN's bracket challenge and 27 in the NCAA's contest.

Favored teams went 16-0 on Friday, and they started 4-0 on Saturday, leaving more than 100 brackets intact. No. 1 seed Duke dominated No. 9 seed TCU in the No. 1...

AP News HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii officials urged people in hard-hit areas to evacuate Saturday due to the state's worst flooding in more than 20 years, after heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week ago with still more expected over the weekend.

Texas goes from First Four to Sweet 16, beating Gonzaga 74-68 in March Madness

AP News PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jordan Pope and Matas Vokieaitis each scored 17 points, Camden Heide hit a game-sealing 3-pointer and Texas became the first team in five years to go from the NCAA Tournament's First Four to the Sweet 16, beating Gonzaga 74-68 on Saturday.

First-year coach Sean Miller's 11th-seeded Longhorns (21-14), who lost five of six entering the tournament and looked underwhelming in their First Four win over N.C. State, will face either No. 2 seed Purdue or No. 7 seed Miami on Thursday in the West Region semifinals San Jose, California.

The last First Four...
