Amarr Knox’s layup with a second left lifted Alabama State to its first NCAA Tournament win Tuesday night, 70-68 over Saint Francis (PA) in a matchup of No. 16 seeds at the First Four in Dayton, Ohio.

Knox scored 16 points to help the Hornets earn a date with No. 1 overall seed Auburn on Thursday in a South Region game at Lexington, Kentucky.

After forcing a turnover in the final seconds, Alabama State had the ball out of bounds under its own basket. With the score tied, Micah Simpson threw a long pass nearly the length of the court toward a scrum of players in the lane at the other end. The ball deflected off a teammate and right into Knox’s hands near the rim, giving him a simple layup for the winning bucket.

Alabama State (20-15) is making its fifth NCAA Tournament appearance.

Indiana named West Virginia’s Darian DeVries as its new head coach. DeVries, who turns 50 in April, takes over the Hooisers after spending just one season leading the Mountaineers.

Colleges: The NCAA will abandon a rule that stopped athletes from negotiating name, image and likeness deals before enrolling in a specific college after a settlement in a lawsuit over the policy. A handful of state attorneys general had sued the NCAA over its NIL recruiting ban, arguing the rule violated antitrust laws. The proposed settlement must be approved by a federal judge. The agreement will allow college athletes to negotiate compensation for NIL deals before enrolling in a specific school, and it will allow third parties to negotiate NIL deals during recruitment windows.
