The biggest match of the night was Brock Lesnar vs. Elsewhere, ABC had a new Shark Tank come in with an 0.4, as Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Barbera Corcoran and guest judge Emma Grede sliced and diced the entrepreneurs brought before them. This weekend, the field narrows, and the eyes of the nation will turn to Cinderella team Saint Peter’s of New Jersey, which has stunned the world with its upsets. Perennial ratings leader WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox held its own, bringing in an 0.4 and retaining its audience level. The excitement was no doubt driven by a season of upsets, as top-ranked teams like Gonzaga and Arizona have both fallen by the wayside already. That makes the average viewership the highest through two rounds in five years.

Bill Self says his 3-5 record in Elite Eight games as Kansas' head coach is "not good enough" and he hopes to improve on it Sunday against No.

"We're at the mercy of CBS or television networks," he said. "I don't want them to think, 'Get through,' I want them to think, 'Attack it,'" he said. "This is the biggest stage I've been on as far as basketball in my life," forward Jalen Wilson said. "You can talk about first round, you can talk about whatever, it's the hardest game. "It's the hardest game in the tournament to not win," Self said. It's road to the Final Four."

Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway, the only person named in the notice of allegations, was involved in at least one alleged Level I violation and two Level II ...

The NCAA has a four-level violation structure that ranges from "severe breaches of conduct to incidental infractions." The violations of NCAA clauses were related to lack of institutional control, head coach responsibility and failure to monitor, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, which obtained a notice of allegations and an amended notice of allegations from the Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) investigation. The University of Memphis is accused of several violations stemming from a lengthy investigation into the men's basketball program, according to multiple reports.

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference stands to make more than $8 million from St. Peter's NCAA tournament run, but MAAC Commissioner Rich Ensor doesn't ...

Ensor said the ultimate decision on how to fairly compensate Saint Peter's is something that he'd have to "take up with my board," which is made up of MAAC presidents. NCAA tournament money math is wonky, but it's safe to estimate that Saint Peter's three wins in the tournament will mean a windfall of at least $6 million in additional money from the three extra NCAA units. "I don't anticipate there's going to be a jackpot," he said of Saint Peter's. "[The presidents] could go in a different direction. Saint Peter's coach Shaheen Holloway makes nearly $266,000 per year, according to the latest available tax documents. It's not uncommon for a league to weight distribution toward teams that win more games. How do they split up the spoils from Saint Peter's magical run?

CHICAGO — Ochai Agbaji, David McCormack and Christian Braun powered a dazzling second half for Kansas, and the top-seeded Jayhawks pounded Miami 76-50 on ...

The last time the Jayhawks made it to the semis, they lost 95-79 to Coach Jay Wright and Villanova in 2018. Playing in his hometown, Miami guard Charlie Moore had five points on 2-for-9 shooting. “We didn’t come this far to lay down or give up at this point. “That’s what we were able to do this year, and I’m so happy for us. “Just being able to accomplish what we accomplished this year, now teams coming in or new teams, two, three years down the line, that Elite Eight is going to be the goal,” McGusty said. Agbaji scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half. So just going out there and playing our style of basketball.” But everything changed after the break.Advertisement After trailing by six at halftime, Kansas outscored Miami 47-15 in the final 20 minutes. Next up is a Final Four matchup with Villanova on Saturday in New Orleans. McCormack opened the half with his own 5-0 run and finished with 15 points on 6-for-7 shooting. “These guys earned it.”

Villanova is undefeated in its last three Elite Eight appearances under head coach Jay Wright.

None of that is in the book.” Despite being a sports-focused cord-cutting option, the streaming service lost TNT and TBS in 2020 and hasn’t yet agreed to a new deal with WarnerMedia. This year’s Final Four and national championship game will take place Saturday, April 2, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, and air on TBS. The game will stream live on TBS’s website, though it’s only available there for cable subscribers. The Wildcats will face a Houston team that has won all three of its tournament games by double digits, including a 72-60 drubbing of No. 1 seed Arizona on Thursday night. Barkley’s wife, Maureen, also attended Council Rock High School North with Wright.

The games Saturday and Sunday will air on TV via a combination of CBS and TBS. Meanwhile, fans can stream games via Sling on smart TVs and streaming devices.

The two themes that defined Holloway — loyalty and a pick-yourself-up-after-you’ve-been-knocked down mentality — proved irresistible to the collection of overlooked and under-recruited he drew to a tiny commuter school in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Peacocks, and especially their 45-year-old coach, know the feeling. Despite scoring just 17 first-half points and trailing by 13 early in the second half, the Friars roared back behind Noah Horchler, who hit a pair of 3-pointers to pull within 41-40 at the midway point. In the bargain, Kansas advanced to face No. 10 Miami, and also moved ahead of Kentucky for most wins in Division I history with 2,354. The Cyclones shot 32% in the second half, submarining their own cause further by turning the ball over 18 times. Love went 10 for 16 in the second. The Peacocks aren’t big, either, which means 6-foot-7 KC Ndefo, their best and most experienced player, often plays out of position. No. 2 Kentucky couldn’t, seventh-seeded Murray State didn’t, and by the end of their Sweet 16 matchup Friday, No. 3 Purdue was left grasping at air. fuboTV (CBS only) - Games are free to stream online via March Madness Live.

The fourth round of 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has the field of 68 trimmed down to just four games over Saturday and Sunday as we get set to decide the Final Four in the run up to the Championship game.

The men's NCAA tournament is annually defined by its unpredictability, and it has lived up to that reputation once again this year.

The Blue Devils always had the talent to go on a long run in March, but a leaky defense and inconsistent point guard play was holding them back. The Cougars might have a No. 5 seed next to their name, but they entered the tournament as the second best team in America according to KenPom’s formulas. Going 14-6 in the ACC is usually enough to get a team a comfy seed on Selection Sunday, but a few bad losses and a down year for the league overall pushed Miami to the 10-line. Houston squeezed the life out of Illinois in the round of 32 before knocking out popular title pick Arizona with a suffocating defense and timely shooting. Kansas has seemed inevitable in a Midwest Region that always felt like the easiest on the bracket, but credit Bill Self’s team for digging deep and doing what hardly anyone has been able to accomplish all year: beating the Friars in a close game. Yes, the Heels have gotten hot at the right time like every team still standing, but this is also a roster that always had the talent to get here. The rest of the Razorbacks play tough defense and do their best to manufacture offense without great shooters on the perimeter. It’s a formula that has helped Nova win 13 of their last 14 games, and again get them back into the Elite Eight. He’s a phenomenal defensive rebounder, a master of the flip shot, and can be counted on to take several charges per game. Villanova lacks of the talent of Jay Wright’s best teams this season, but the style of play that made his Wildcats one of the most successful programs in America over the last decade is still paying dividends. Before the regional finals begin, we ranked the eight teams remaining in the men’s NCAA tournament field by how likely they are to win the national championship. The men’s NCAA tournament is annually defined by its unpredictability, and it has lived up to that reputation once again this year.

Villanova-Houston and Duke-Arkansas highlight the first day of the Elite Eight. Here are the numbers to know for Saturday.

Duke is 13-1 when Roach scores 10-plus points this season. Their most-recent matchup came in the 1994 championship game (Arkansas won 76-72). Arkansas was previously 0-10 in its prior 10 matchups against 1-seeds. Williams’ 354 rebounds are a new Arkansas single-season program record, breaking Derek Hood’s record of 349 rebounds in 1998-99. 11: Arkansas is making its 11th Elite Eight appearance. Their most-recent matchup came during the 1983 Elite Eight (Houston won 89-71). 4-7: Duke is 4-7 all-time against SEC opponents in the NCAA Tournament. 6-1: Duke is 6-1 all-time against 4-seeds in the NCAA Tournament. 3-0: Arkansas is 3-0 all-time against 2-seeds in the NCAA Tournament. 33: Jay Wright has now won 33 tournament games as a head coach. 4-7: Arkansas is 4-7 all-time against ACC opponents in the NCAA Tournament. 3-0: Villanova is 3-0 in its last three Elite Eight appearances, and went on to win the national championship in each of its last two appearances (2016, 2018).

The Tigers and Hardaway are accused of violating several Level I allegations, considered the NCAA's most severe.

Hardaway is accused of paying moving expenses for Wiseman and his family before later being hired by Memphis and later landing him as a recruit, which goes against NCAA rules as a booster and could be construed as an inducement to earn his commitment. Memphis, meanwhile, refused to sit him while the process played out, a decision that almost immediately backfired and may cost the Tigers any goodwill in the eyes of the IARP. The IARP in its investigation also accused Memphis of not properly preserving the hard drive from the computer of ex-assistant coach Mike Miller, the contents of which were later deleted.

Memphis men's basketball faces multiple Level I and II infractions charges as a result of the NCAA's investigation into the program, according to multiple ...

Memphis' case was referred to the IARP in March 2020. Memphis and Hardaway submitted responses to the amended NOA on Oct. 25. The charges were outlined in an amended Notice of Allegations that the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process served to Memphis in July 2021.

The University of Memphis is facing at least four Level I and two Level II violations, according to an amended notice of allegations received in 2021.

Also included in the amended notice of allegations, the CCU lists a number of both potential aggravating and mitigating factors. “The Institution failed to timely produce requested and relevant documents," the amended notice of allegations reads. … significantly delayed the scheduling of interviews and scheduled “prep” sessions (redacted) at least one athletics administrator in the days preceding scheduled CCU interviews demonstrating a lack of commitment to cooperation and a disregard for NCAA directives to avoid communicating with individuals about the subject matter of the investigation prior to being interviewed." “UM has presented facts that show institutional control, ongoing and appropriate monitoring, cooperation, a culture of compliance, and head coach responsibility," the letter stated. “Finally, the NOA contains no specific facts, and it is the specific facts that are imperative for the resolution of this matter." The amended notice of allegations charges that data from a computer hard drive belonging to a former assistant coach was not preserved. "The Institution failed to conduct an adequate investigation into why the computer’s hard drive was not preserved." In December 2020, Hardaway agreed to terms with the university on a de facto contract extension that runs through April 2026. The amended notice of allegations outlines seven separate violations in total, which are reported to have occurred between May 2019 and February 2021. It alleges coach Penny Hardaway "failed to demonstrate that he promoted an atmosphere of compliance within the men's basketball program." The case was referred to the IARP on March 4, 2020. Memphis is facing at least four Level I and two Level II violations, according to an amended notice of allegations it received on July 9, 2021.

We discuss the NCAA violations that the University of Memphis is being accused of.
