The night opened with a thriller as Purdue survived a serious upset bid from 11-seed Texas, escaping 79-77 in a game that came down to late possessions. Purdue’s composure in the final minute proved the difference, keeping its title hopes alive.

Meanwhile, 9-seed Iowa continued its surprising run, knocking off 4-seed Nebraska 77-71. The Hawkeyes controlled tempo and hit key shots late, further cementing themselves as one of the tournament’s biggest surprises.

In one of the more eye-opening results, Illinois dominated 2-seed Houston 65-55. The Illini defense was relentless, completely disrupting Houston’s rhythm and turning the game into a grind that favored Illinois from start to finish.

The most explosive performance of the night came from Arizona, which rolled past Arkansas 109-88. Arizona’s offense was electric, pushing pace and overwhelming Arkansas with scoring bursts that never allowed the Razorbacks to settle in.
