CollegeHoops.net: NCAA Tournament All-First Round Team

It took until the final hours of Friday night before March Madness started living up to its moniker. #12 Wisconsin came back late to upend #5 Florida St in overtime, and #13 Cleveland State added further misery to the ACC by knocking off Wake Forest. The Vikings pretty much owned Wake Forest from the opening tip, and while Cedric Jackson doesn't make CHN's All-First Round team, he deserves to be mentioned.

Roburt Sallie, Memphis

35 points, four rebounds, three steals, 10-15 3Pts

Hard to say what is more shocking - that Memphis almost got beat by CS Northridge or that the Tigers’ star of the day was little-used Roburt Sallie. To put his dream performance into perspective - he only had 36-points combined in his previous nine games leading up to the Northridge tilt. If Coach Cal’s crew plan on needing an encore performance from Sallie they might be in trouble.

30 points, six board, four assists, four steals

It took a stat-sheet-stuffer from Thornton, who also hit 10-15 shots, to knock off a very good Butler team.

32 points, eight assists, four rebounds

North Dakota State’s Ben Woodside (37 points) might have won the personal battle, but Collins led his team to victory.

27 points, 10 rebounds, 10-16 FGs

Basketball aficionados already knew that Chris Wright was a very good player. Now the rest of the hoops nation knows also, as his highly efficient performance bounced Bob Huggins and company from the tourney.

27 points, 16 board, three assists

ETSU pretty much had an answer for everything Pitt threw at them, except for its Beast From the East Blair. Not much to be ashamed of there - no one has had an answer for the 270-pounder this season.
