The semifinal round of the South Region of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament was played on Thursday with both games contested at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee:
In the opener, Jordan Sibert scored 18 points while Kendall Pollard came off the bench to add a season-high 12 as the #11-seeded Dayton Flyers (26-10) defeated the #10-seeded Stanford Cardinal (23-13) 82-72 to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 1984.
In the nightcap, Michael Frazier II scored 19 points (and made five three-point baskets) as the top-overall-seeded Florida Gators (35-2) racked up their 29th straight victory (continuing the longest winning streak in school history) 79-88 over the fourth-seeded UCLA Bruins (28-9). The Gators advanced to their fourth consecutive regional final.
Florida will take on Dayton on Saturday (3:09 PM Pacific Time, TBS) in the South Regional final in Memphis with the winner advancing to the Final Four.
