No. 7 Oregon Ducks vs. No. 6 USC Trojans
Result: USC wins 82-68

Teamwork makes the dreamwork

The Trojans tossed it up, but fear not, Evan Mobley was there for the offensive rebound and the putback, dominating inside.

Smooth moves

USC's Ethan Anderson had the perfect amount of hangtime with a little spin for the no-look bucket.

Double-tap

This time Mobley tapped the rebound to his brother Isaiah Mobley for the second-chance and he capitalized with an easy jumper.

Oh my, Isaiah

Isaiah Mobley, in all of his 6-foot-10 glory, took it through deep traffic for the reverse layup and-1.

The Mobley's are men

Look out below for Evan Mobley – he just straight up exposed the defense with his mean two-handed dunk.

How about we watch it in slow motion for good measure?

No. 11 UCLA Bruins vs. No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide
Result: UCLA wins 88-78, OT

Those handles, though

Alabama's Jahvon Quinerly didn't need to take it inside, as he hit the defender with the step-back, sinking it from deep.

Bernard is a bucket

In the first half, Jules Bernard was a certified bucket, dropping 13 points and going a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the arc.

Also, how did he still score that?

Razzle dazzle

Quinerly went behind his own head on the fastbreak for the assist, and his teammate laid it up and in for the most beautiful two points you will see.

Man's jam

Alabama's John Petty Jr. tied it up with an absolutely savage throw down from the back door.

Have a day, Riley

UCLA's Cody Riley threw up the long arm to deny Alabama the bucket, and the chance to take the lead.

Riley was full send on both ends, slamming the inbounds pass down with absolute authority.

Is this real life?

Alabama's Alex Reese had ice in his veins. He drilled it from way downtown at the buzzer to send it to overtime in Indy.

We can't stop watching this play.

Holy Jaquez

Jaime Jaquez was unstoppable, nailing not one, but two daggers right on the bullseye.

No. 4 Florida State Seminoles vs. No. 1 Michigan Wolverines
Result: Michigan wins 76-58

Brandon Johns back-to-back

Michigan's big man Brandon Johns was on the attack, breaking away for a monster jam to open the game.

Oh, wait. There's more. Johns went back for another, dropping the hammer for two more.

Seminole slam

Johns, meet FSU's Scottie Barnes who took your monster jams and raised you one to keep the Seminoles in it but never ahead.

Count it

Michigan's Mike Smith was tough on his way to the basket, reading the defense and taking all on his own for the points and-1.

We knew you needed another angle of this beauty. Check out the closeup but stay for the celebration.

No. 5 Creighton Bluejays vs. No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs
Result: Gonzaga wins 83-65

Take a seat

Jalen Suggs with a full head of steam is a frightening sight. Just ask Creighton's Damien Jefferson, who wound up on his backside as the Gonzaga star hit him with a shifty move to get to the rim.

Was it a slip, or did Suggs shake the defender? We'll leave that for you to decide, but here's another angle to help your investigation.

"Lost in the sauce"

Suggs had one heck of a first half.

This okie-doke move from the standout guard to put Gonzaga up 32-25 was nice, but commentator Ian Eagle's call of the nifty bucket might be even better.

Yes, the players are the main attraction, but we're not above showing the announcers some love when they deserve it!

Suggs still going

Gonzaga spread the floor with confidence, as Suggs took it into traffic for two. With the Bulldogs' largest lead all game, they looked confident and in control and never looked back en route to a dominant victory.
