- Pittsburgh edge Mississippi State in back-and-forth contest
- Texas A&M-CC ousts SE Missouri St for first ever tourney win
Jamarius Burton made a go-ahead jumper with 10 seconds left and Pitt edged Mississippi State 60-59 in a back-and-forth First Four game Tuesday night that featured 21 lead changes – most in the NCAA tournament in five years.
Mississippi State had a great chance to win at the end, but Shakeel Moore missed a wide-open three-pointer from the corner with two seconds remaining off an inbounds play. DJ Jeffries’ tip-in attempt was off target just before the buzzer.
