March Madness continued Friday night with the final round of Sweet 16 action.
Michigan State kicked things off with a patented come-from-behind win over sixth-seeded Ole Miss. The No. 2 seed Spartans have now won eight straight games in which they were trailing at halftime.
Then, second-seeded Tennessee dismantled third-seeded Kentucky in blowout fashion and No. 1 seed Auburn imposed its will during a dominant second half against fifth-seeded Michigan.
To close out the day, No. 1 seed Houston was able to stave off fourth-seeded Purdue in a back-and-forth thriller. The Cougars drew up a beautiful inbounds play with about a second left for the win, sending them to a very chalky Elite Eight.
Here are Friday’s highlights!
