Saturday's first game saw a match-up between the number one overall seed in the tournament, the Louisville Cardinals, and the ninth-seeded Wichita State Shockers. This one was expected to be kind of one-sided, but with 13:35 to play, the Shockers held a 12-point lead.
With the spirit of an injured Kevin Ware, Louisville somehow stormed back. They were able to take the lead late and hold off a rally by Wichita State to win 72-68. With that, they secured a spot in Monday's championship game.
