An interesting note entering tonight’s Duke vs Texas Tech game:
Duke has never won an NCAA Tournament game in California; they are 0-3 all-time.
Texas Tech has never lost an NCAA Tournament game in California;
they are 4-0 all-time.
Markquis Nowell finished the tournament with 54 assists (in just 4 games!).
It's the 3rd most assists ever in a single year in the men's NCAA Tournament.

Virginia Tech's Hunter Cattoor (9-for-11) and Sean Padulla (6-for-7) went a combined 15-for-18 from behind the arc against Florida State.
They are the only pair of teammates in the last decade to shoot a combined 80% from 3 on at least 18 attempts in a game.
