PITTSBURGH — Like virtually every other basketball fan in America, Duke freshmen Marvin Bagley III and Trevon Duval were both stunned to see No. 4 Arizona bounced out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round by No. 13 Buffalo — by 21 points, no less.

A lot of people — including Charles Barkley — had Arizona making a deep run, especially with Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter out of the tournament with injury.

Not only did Arizona lose, but freshman Deandre Ayton and junior Allonzo Trier declared for the NBA Draft immediately after the game.

Like Ayton, the projected No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, Oklahoma freshman guard Trae Young also lost in the first round on Thursday, to Rhode Island. Young and his family said they will take a few days to decide their future plans.
