March Madness Scores, Bracket: Duke holds Arizona; Texas Tech Rallyes on Arkansas in Sweet 16 OT Thriller on Arkansas

The NCAA tournament Sweet 16 is underway and on Thursday some of the best teams were presented in the bracket.

Everything was chalk in the early evening when No. 1 Florida and Alabama No. 2 scored both blowout victories. The flood in particular had one night and broke the record for most points in a NCAA tournament game (113), most 3 points of a team in a tournament game (25) and most 3-point attempts (51). Alabama-Wachmann Mark Sears led with 34 points, while he shot 10-to-16 from the 3-point range.

But the later games delivered a lot of drama.

No. 1 Duke led most of the night in front of an angry rally by Caleb Love and Arizona the Blue Devils to close the game on the track. Love ended with 35 points, while Dukes Cooper Flagg achieved their own show with 30 points, seven templates, six rebounds and three blocks.

At the same time, Texas Tech No. 3 delivered the second largest comeback ever in the Sweet 16 and gathered from Down 16 to Arkansas No. 10 in an 85-83 overtime thriller.

No. 2 Alabama 113, No. 6 BYU 88
