The University of Kansas eliminated Marquette University, 95-61.
The 34-point deficit made the University of Texas's loss yesterday seem less embarrassing.

Wade had been on a tear this year. If not for Su Xi, he would have been the NCAA's biggest dark horse this season, single-handedly carrying his team to the Final Four. In the Elite Eight, where they eliminated the number one seed, the University of Kentucky, he even recorded a massive triple-double—only the fourth in NCAA Tournament history.
Besides, this was Wade's third college season. There was no reason for him not to declare for the draft.
