2025 College Basketball Crown: Eric Dixon makes Villanova history; USC cruises

The inaugural College Basketball Crown continued Tuesday with four more first-round games.

Cincinnati kicked the day off with a pretty decisive win, taking down DePaul, 83-61. The Oregon State-UCF game was much more competitive, with 17 lead changes throughout the afternoon. In the end, one team had to win and UCF came away with a 76-75 victory. The Bearcats and Knights will play Thursday.

Villanova rolled past Colorado behind Eric Dixon's record-setting game. The Wildcats will face USC in the quarterfinals after the Trojans took care of business against Tulane.

Tuesday is the final day of Round 1 after four first-round games took place on Monday. The second round will be held on Wednesday and Thursday as the tournament continues through Sunday, April 6 on FOX and FS1.

The Trojans' senior forward, who was 10-of-12 from the floor and 3-of-4 from the 3-point line, picked up where he left off in March. In his previous five games, Agee had averaged 16.6 points, with two 20+point outings. 

Agee had a monster all-around game Tuesday, with nine rebounds and four blocks. 

The Green Wave managed to get within 10 points with 9:03 remaining, but then the Trojans, who never trailed, outscored Tulane 31-12 the rest of the way.

At halftime, USC was up 39-24 and star Desmond Claude had just five points on 2-of-8 shooting, but it hardly mattered.

Tulane had more turnovers (13) than made field goals (8) in the first half, as well as two players in foul trouble. Tyler Ringgold and Percy Daniels each had four fouls before the break.

But the shorthanded Green Wave didn’t have much of a choice, with
