Wichita State roared to a 20-point lead with 11 minutes to play after Ohio State played an awful first half, but LaQuinton Ross scored 15 of his 19 points after halftime, leading a ferocious rally to within three points in the final minutes. Wichita State will make it to first Final Four appearance since 1965. First 9th seed since Penn in 79, which was last time Missouri Valley Conference team made it. That was Larry Bird and the Indiana State Sycamores.
