Jared McCain, the star freshman from Centennial High, has made 10 of 17 from 3-point range through the first two rounds. In the Blue Devils' second-round blowout of James Madison, McCain became the first freshman to score at least 30 points without committing a turnover in an NCAA Tournament game since the event expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

The Cougars showcased their depth by surviving a second-round matchup with Texas A&M in overtime even after four of their five starters fouled out. They became the first team to win an NCAA game while having at least four players foul out since 1987, when UTEP overcame foul trouble to beat Arizona.

Marquette is 75-29 under coach Shaka Smart despite posting a negative rebound margin in each of his three seasons. The Golden Eagles have been outrebound­ed in each of their last eight games but have gone 5-3. They're getting outrebound­ed by three boards per game this season. The only other Sweet 16 team with a negative rebound margin is North Carolina State (minus-0.8), which faces Marquette on Friday.
