Ben Pearce reached 2,000 career points as top seed Emory needed overtime to survive, while Hood ran past Redlands, Endicott survived at the buzzer, and much more in the second round.

The Trinity Bantams have eight guys back who played in last year's national semifinals, and they are hungrier this time around. Joe Sager has more in a Road to Fort Wayne feature.
