-Season 64 showed how much the current state of college basketball has so much parody.  No teams ended the season undefeated as eventual champion, Durham, knocked off the only remaining unbeaten team, Phoenix in the NTT title game.  The tournament itself had two teams that some might consider Cinderella's, in #15 Bangor and #10, Ann Arbor, but experts knew both squads were strong and it wasn't surprising to see them both make a deep run.

 Three #1 seeds advanced to the Elite Eight as well as two #2's.

 The Dreads vaunted defense held the Crouching Hogs to just 50 points as they played their usual style of grinding defense and patient offense in their first round win.  Four of Cincinnati's starters scored in double digits, led by Donyell Berndt's 16 point, 8 rebound performance.  Montgomery turned the ball over 16 times to just 6 for the Dreads, as they couldn't find open passing lanes against Cincinnati's aggressive defense.

 The Acey Deucy looked slow and tired in the first half and Fargo used that to build a big lead that Del Mar could never come back from.  Fargo was very impressive from the line, going 20-25 and hitting 32-66 shots from the field while only turning the ball over 6 times for the game.  Vincent Dawson started out scoring 8 out of Fargo's first 10 points and he continued at a big pace, scoring 33 for the game and going 11-11 from the line.  Marc Pascua added 24 while Bill Foster scored 10 and grabbed 5 boards.

 This one was never in doubt as the Eunuchs took an early lead and fought off any attempt the Lightning made at coming back with a counter run of their own.  Doyle Mcgonagle led Phoenix with 21 points in just 24 minutes, a staple for a coach Kmoney team.  Jackson Isaac's 10 boards led a big time effort on the boards for Phoenix, out-rebounding Denver by 11.  The Lightning shot just 4-19 from behind the arc, a tribute to the perimeter defense played by the Eunuchs.  Theodore Henley and Gordon Peterson both came off the bench for Kmoney's squad, scoring 11 each.
