Thursday's heroes

Kevin Love, UCLA Any chance this complete power forward could fall to the Bulls in the draft? Love, who piled up 29 points and 14 rebounds in UCLA's victory over Western Kentucky, boasts the fundamentals several current Bulls lack.

Earl Clark, Louisville This McDonald's All-American doesn't start for the Cards, but he finished off Tennessee's season. The 6-foot-9 soph stuffed the stat sheet with game highs in points (17), rebounds (10) and assists (4) … and 3 blocks for good measure.

Josh Duncan, Xavier Rated 34 spots lower than Illinois' Shaun Pruitt in Rivals.com's Class of 2004 recruiting rankings, Duncan delivered a career-high 26 points as the Musketeers earned their second Elite Eight berth in five years.

Thursday's zeros

Chris Lofton, Tennessee One of the sport's all-time leaders in 3-pointers continued his NCAA slide by missing his first 7 attempts in the second-seeded Vols' 79-60 loss to Louisville.

West Virginia's defense late To recap the scouting report the Mountaineers must not have read, B.J. Raymond entered the night as Xavier's most prolific 3-point maker with 79. Because he got two open looks in the final 1:21 of OT, WV's 74-72 lead turned into a 79-75 defeat.
