Can't remember a Sweet 16 that went almost exactly according to seeding 4/5s v. 1 with the exception of 6 seed Clemson and 11 seed NC State. A 6 seed is actually no surprise at all.

NC State is the only interloper of these 16 teams.

Don’t sleep on UConn

I know they’re just a little state school from the northeast somewhere and they only beat Stetson by six in the second half yesterday, but if you look close you’ll see this is a strong team we shouldn’t take too lightly.

"To realize that all your season - all your love, all your hate, all your memory, all your pain, it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream, a dream season that you had inside the Big Ten. A dream season about Boo Buie being THE person... And like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it"

You can do the same thing with Karaban. Unless the center foul are lopsided, Edey shouldn't be a major factor in the game even if he gets a double double on a lower shooting percentage. Our guards are way better. If Edey gets free reign against Johnson and Karaban with Clingan in foul trouble, that is where the problems would begin.

Did you see them today? They looked great at every position and they hit 3s.

How's that? If you mean the second round has gone mostly chalk, that is a bit unusual, but not unprecedented. The first round was a mess, and a lot of the bubble and at-large teams have turned out to be broiled dog spit. These at-large teams were selected in a large part because of KenPom and NET efficiency metrics, which several teams and even entire conferences gamed to take at-large bids away from more deserving programs.

What resume metrics did all these Big 12 teams have to not only get 9 bids, but get their high seeds? How about the MWC? Those two leagues, which got 15 bids between them, will send 2 and 1 respectively into the Sweet 16.

Honestly, this is some of the best slate of games you could have for the 2nd weekend. When you consider the "cinderella" of the group is NC State. Everyone can pretty much play, so should be some great basketball next week.
