Four games on Thursday and four more on Friday. Who will advance?
Well, it has been a big pile of chalk so far in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Madness has been at a minimum. As we begin the Sweet 16 tonight, we still have all four 1-seeds, three 2-seeds, three 3-seeds, and three 4-seeds. There is only one double-digit seed still in the field, 10-seed Arkansas. All sixteen teams come from just four conferences, the SEC (7), Big Ten (4), Big 12 (4), and ACC (1). And I think we have only had one buzzer-beating winner so far when Maryland’s Derik Queen hit a shot to knock out Colorado State last weekend.
Let’s see what the second weekend’s schedule of games brings us. The Sweet 16 begins tonight with four games followed by four more tomorrow. Here is the schedule:
Thursday:
7:09 PM – #6 BYU vs. #2 Alabama
7:39 PM – #4 Maryland vs. #1 Florida
9:39 PM – #4 Arizona vs. #1 Duke
10:09 PM – #10 Arkansas vs. #3 Texas Tech
Friday:
7:09 PM – #6 Ole Miss vs. #2 Michigan State
7:39 PM – #3 Kentucky vs. #2 Tennessee
9:39 PM – #5 um vs. #1 Auburn
10:09 PM – #4 Purdue vs. #1 Houston
By the way, here are the current standings in the TOC Bracket Challenge.
