Both face tough games on Wednesday.
We'll have more tonight, including Al Featherston's first column from the tournament, but just a couple of quick notes on Day 1.
First of all, poor Danny Manning, who saw the same old Wake Forest he's seen all year. The Demon Deacons were right there...until they weren't.
To their credit they did fight back but needing a three, they turned first to freshman Bryant Crawford. Crawford will become a very good player eventually, but this year, he plays like a scared freshman, and never more so than in crunch time.
