Greg Oden added 13 points, all in the second half, including eight rebounds in 20 minutes.

Jonathan Wallace scored 19 points for the Hoyas, who were playing in their first Final Four since 1985. They were struggling without Roy Hibbert, who was hampered by foul trouble and only managed to score 19 and six rebounds before leaving the game early in the second half.
