The 11-seed in the NCAA Tournament's South Region has been decided after the Wichita State Shockers defeated the Vanderbilt Commodores 70-50 on Tuesday night in Dayton, Ohio. The 6-seed Arizona Wildcats, who have been forced to await the results of this play-in game to know their opponent, can now focus their preparation on the Shockers for Thursday night's Round of 64 game.
A tight first half ended in a 30-30 tie, with neither team shooting the ball particularly well; Wichita State shot 35% from the floor versus Vanderbilt's 38%, and the two teams combined to go 2-for-17 from beyond the 3-point line.
