NCAA Tournament Thoughts-Sweet 16


The NCAA Tournament is now down to just 16 teams, and my bracket looks like a trailer park after a tornado just ripped through it.


I do still have all my Final Four teams left ( Villanova, Memphis, UNC, and Louisville) which is extremely important.



Perhaps the biggest shocked of this year's tournament is the fact that the top 3 seeds from each region made the Sweet 16, which is the first time that has happened in tournament history.



The highest seed still remaining is Arizona ( 12 seed) who stopped cinderella from coming to the ball by defeating Cleveland State.



Pittsburgh seems to be the #1 seed who is in the most trouble right now as they have had trouble with both of their games ( East Tenn. State and Oklahoma State). Sam Young has bailed them out in both games and if Young and Blair begin to play as they're capable of, then this is still one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament.



I still like North Carolina as my favorite because of the stellar play of Ty Lawson in the 2nd half of their win over LSU. I believe they will beat Memphis in a thriller due to the lack of major experience of the Tigers.
