Florida lives by the three, and dies by it: The Gators' three-pointers were falling in the first half, and they quickly grabbed the lead against Louisville. As has been the case throughout the season, though, they didn't have an answer when the shots started missing. Even with Peyton Siva disqualified, the Cardinals clamped down on defense and rallied in the final minutes to beat Florida 72-68. Like UConn last year, Louisville has used the Big East tournament championship as a springboard to reach the Final Four. They'll play either Kentucky or Baylor next week.
Ohio State seizes control in the second half: Syracuse was one of the country's most dominant teams this season; Ohio State's year was much more up-and-down. But the Buckeyes have played up to their potential during this tournament and proved it by knocking off the Orange 77-70. Despite William Buford's shooting slump, Jared Sullinger and Lenzelle Smith Jr. hit enough shots to keep Syracuse at bay. Thad Matta's team will play either North Carolina or Kansas for the right to play for the national championship.
