Starting off with the game between North Florida and Gonzaga. A phenomenal performance by Gonzaga, finishing with a commanding 109-58 victory. Gonzaga built an early lead, blazing through to a 53-28 advantage at halftime. They continued their dominance in the second half, shooting an impressive 61.4% from the field and nailing 10 out of 18 three-pointers. Coach Mark Few achieved a milestone with his 750th career win, becoming the second-fastest Division I coach to reach this mark. The Bulldogs were relentless, out-rebounding North Florida 48-25 and scoring 58 points in the paint compared to UNF’s 14.

Top performers for Gonzaga included Braden Huff, putting up 24 points and 7 rebounds. Tyon Grant-Foster added 19 points, while Davis Fogle chipped in with 15 points on efficient shooting. On the North Florida side, Trey Cady led with 14 points.

Next, let's talk about Alabama's showdown with UTSA. Alabama stormed to a 97-55 victory, dominating from the get-go. They took control with a 56-17 halftime lead, highlighted by explosive runs. Alabama hit 16 threes out of 57 attempts and saw contributions from nine different players. Jalil Bethea made a notable return from injury, scoring 21 points with 5 of those from deep. Labaron Philon Jr. also dazzled with 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Shifting gears to North Carolina's clash with Georgetown, the Tar Heels came out on top with an 81-61 win. North Carolina built an early lead and sustained it through the game, sharing the scoring effort across the team. Caleb Wilson delivered a solid performance with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Henri Veesaar tallied 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Georgetown’s K.J.

Tre White led the Jayhawks with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Darryn Peterson returned from injury, contributing 17 points, while Bryson Tiller added 13 points. Missouri's Mark Mitchell was a standout, scoring 21 points.

In the final matchup, New Mexico faced Santa Clara and emerged victorious, 98-71. New Mexico shot near 60% from the floor, and even a second-half surge from Santa Clara couldn't stem the tide. Deyton Albury powered New Mexico with 22 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals. Off the bench, Uriah Tenette contributed 15 points.
