The quarterfinals of the new College basketball crown It started on Wednesday with two highly anticipated matchups at FS1.
First, Boise State defeated Butler with a high-scoring event. The Broncos, who won $50,000 in a 100-93 victory, are currently in the semi-finals.
Next up at 9:30pm, Georgetown will face Nebraska in a battle between two crude teams. Both teams won a comeback victory in the first round thanks to two massive efforts from top scorers. Hoyas scored a performance of Michael Jordan Flu’s game-type from Malik Mack. Bryce Williams carried the Huskers with 30 points, as he did frequently this season.
The second round will follow Thursday, with two more quarter-final matches airing on FS1. The winners advance to the semi-finals on Saturday and the Championship Game will be held on Sunday, April 6th. These three games will be available in Fox.
This is the highlight of Wednesday!

Throughout the two games, Boise State was still a favorite to win everything, going 15-0 when he scored over 80 points.

However, the game’s highest scorer was Butler’s Finley Bizjack, a career-high 30 points. He was barely stopped from the 3-point line and went 9-for-6 from behind the arc. He was 8-8 from the free throw line despite Utah Super Funcory’s best efforts that switched allegiance to Boise on Wednesday. This time, his screams didn’t bother Butler that much.
As Gus Johnson said on the broadcast, “No one beats Biz!”
Well, except for Boise State, which has now made it to the semi-finals.
