Huffman helped Kent State to victory

Indiana now advance to Saturday's South Regional final against Kent State after their stunning upset of Pittsburgh, also at Lexington.

It looked like overtime would not be necessary as the Golden Flashes took a 68-66 lead with 25 seconds left in regulation and then drew a foul.

However, a controversial jump ball call nullified the basket, forcing the extra five minutes.

But Kent State finally prevailed in the extra session, thanks to 22 points from Antonio Gates and 21 points from Trevor Huffman. Julius Page had 21 points for the losers.

In the West Regional semis at San Jose, second seeds Oklahoma got 26 points from Hollis Price, including a season-high six three-pointers, as the Sooners routed Arizona (3) 88-67.

Onslaught

Oklahoma (30-4) now take on the surprising Tigers in the elite eight.

Arizona (24-10), which lost to Duke in last year's NCAA championship game, led 37-33 at the half but wilted under Oklahoma's second-half onslaught.

Jason Gardner led the Wildcats with 14 points. Luke Walton, the son of former UCLA and NBA great Bill Walton, had nine points and seven assists.

Missouri (24-11) got 23 points from Clarence Gilbert, 17 in the second half, to knock the inconsistent Bruins out of the tournament.

Kareem Rush added 20 points to help the Tigers roar to their third upset of the tournament, while Arthur Johnson had 14 points and 13 rebounds.

Missouri, have not been to the final eight since 1994.
