SAN DIEGO -- Arizona avoided becoming the latest and biggest upset victim in an NCAA tournament thats been filled with them. Dmitry Orlov Jersey . The Wildcats will have to play a little better if they want to keep going in the bracket. Nick Johnson scored 18 points, Aaron Gordon added 16 and top-seeded Arizona overcame a shaky start and a late run by Weber State to beat the Wildcats 68-59 in the West Regional on Friday. The first full day of the tournament was a wild one filled with upsets, and the bracket-busting trend continued early Friday, when Mercer, a No. 14 seed, knocked off mighty Duke. Arizona (31-4) appeared to be next in line, falling into an 8-point hole in the opening 6 minutes. Arizona closed in around Weber State (19-12), shutting down the Wildcats during two big first-half runs, seemingly putting the fairytale to bed. Comfortably ahead, Arizona let off the gas late, allowing Weber State to trim a 21-point lead down to nine before pulling it out. Solid, but not great, particularly since the next game -- against Gonzaga or Oklahoma State on Sunday -- is the spot the Wildcats have been picked to go down. Weber State put up a fight in its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2007, clearly not intimidated by Arizona and its cast of future NBA players. The Wildcats just didnt have the manpower to keep up with the long, athletic Cats during their big runs and nor did they have enough left climb all the way back after clawing back in the second half. Davion Berry scored 24 points and Richaud Gittens added 12 for Weber State. Arizona had been in this spot before, facing a quick-trigger 3-point shooting team in the opening round. A year ago, Belmont was a popular bracket buster pick against the Wildcats because of its ability to shoot the 3, but Arizona turned the slight into motivation and ran over the Bruins. Even after an opening day of upsets in the bracket, there were no calls for an upset against Arizona this year. But just as Mercer was busy taking down Duke, Weber State gave the 16-over-a-1-seed miracle a glimpse of life, holding Arizona without a field for nearly 5 minutes during a game-opening 10-2 run. The dream popped with a flurry of blocked shots, steals and runouts the other direction. After falling into the early hole, one of the nations best defences flexed its muscles against the Big Sky-champion Wildcats, jumping into passing lanes, swatting shots, turning nearly every possession into a fight against the shot clock. Weber State missed 12 of 13 shots as Arizona went on two big runs and shot 6 of 24 in the first half with nine turnovers that Arizona turned into 12 points. The desert Wildcats shook off their early offensive funk with an array of dunks and 3-pointers, racing past Weber State with runs of 14-2 and 13-3 to go up 32-20 at halftime. Arizona looked as if it was going to run away with it early in the second half, only to watch Weber State scratch a huge lead to under double digits with 4 1-2 minutes left. Arizona turned back every attempt Weber State made after that to pull out the victory, but will likely face more upset predictions in the next round after this one.

The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team. At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers -- the 12th Man -- capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers to Seattle.A Fernando Forestieri penalty handed Sheffield Wednesday a narrow 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town, who missed the chance to return to the top of the Sky Bet Championship on Sunday. Huddersfields 100 per cent home record this season also came to an end, as Wednesday battled to a hard-fought victory in this Yorkshire derby.Forestieri proved a nuisance throughout, hitting the post after a moment of brilliance just 15 minutes before he slotted home the winning penalty in the 68th minute. And while the hosts enjoyed the majority of possession, they were unable to break down a stubborn Wednesday defence. Carlos Carvalhal said it was a big win for Wednesday Huddersfield headed into the game knowing a win would take them three points clear of Newcastle and two ahead of Norwich, but it was the visitors who should have taken an early lead after a number of chances in quick succession.There were cries for handball with the first chance, as Fernando Forestieri found Kieran Lee whose shot was deflected wide.From the resulting corner, David Jones cross caused problems for the Wednesday defence before falling back to the midfielder, whose second ball in bounced off the bar and away.It then fell to Lee, who played a clever one-two with Forestieri before working his way into the box, but his low ball in was just about dealt with after a number of attempts to clear. Fernando Forestieri scored from the penalty spot to give Wednesday victory Huddersfield went close on a couple of occasions before the break, firstly through Elias Kachunga, but his deflected effort was stopped by Keiren Westwood, who did well to adjust his feet. Mike Gartner Jersey. Moments later, Palmer forced a smart save from Westwood after cutting onto his left foot from 20 yards out before unleashing a low strike.Five minutes into the second half, Forestieri brought Adam Reachs long ball down brilliantly between defenders Mark Hudson and Christopher Schindler before dinking the ball over the keeper, but it bounced onto the post and away to safety.The visitors won a penalty shortly after the hour-mark when Rajiv van La Parra was adjudged to have blocked Tom Lees shot with his arms, which were up in an unnatural position. Fernando Forestieri celebrates after scoring the winner against Huddersfield Forestieri stepped up to hand Wednesday the lead, sending the ball into the top corner with Danny Ward diving the wrong way.A change of tactics from David Wagner meant Huddersfield played far more direct after going a goal down, and a comedic moment came with five minutes to go when Wednesdays Ross Wallace grabbed a piece of paper with instructions for the hosts. Ross Wallace cheekily grabs instructions for the Huddersfield players The chance to equalise did not come for Huddersfield, though the visitors went close to doubling their lead when Liam Palmer was denied by Ward.The win moves Wednesday up to seventh, while they also become to first club to deny Huddersfield a home league goal since they did so themselves in April.You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.
