: Ok, somebody please explain how the Wisconsin game came out to 43-32. Was a tight defensive effort on both sides or were the two teams shooting bricks all afternoon?
: Also, is this close to breaking a record for lowest combined point total for a single NCAA Tournament game?
According to the CBS broadcasting team, it is indeed the lowest combined score (at least since the tournament field was expanded to 64). The 32 point Wisconsin total is also the lowest team score for a tournament game. It says something about the quality of teams this year.
