Arkansas and UCLA were supposed to run away as 4 seeds.

UCLA needed a 15-4 run to finish the game, including a huge three-pointer by Tyger Campbell.

Arkansas found themselves in a tight game against Vermont. Stanley Umude led the Razorbacks with 21 points, as Arkansas watched their small lead get cut all the way to 2 with 10 seconds left and almost turned the ball over. But replay ruled the ball was off the Vermont, and Arkansas held on for a 4 point victory.

It doesn’t have to be pretty – you just have to survive and advance. On a night when upsets are happening a lot, you have to give UCLA and Arkansas some credit for hanging in there and surviving.
