NCAA Tourney: Lack Of Upsets Means Strong Sweet 16 Matchups

The opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament "may have left something to be desired" in terms of upsets, as the top 12 overall seeds advanced to the Sweet 16. However, the "second week of the dance figures to be thrilling" (N.Y. POST, 3/25). So far, the tournament is "choking on chalk and bereft of small-program charm." But the remaining bracket "will drive big ratings," with "name brands and compelling storylines aplenty" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 3/25). The Big Dance is "lacking a little guy in the regional semifinals." But a "beefed-up slate" of Sweet 16 games means a "lot of attention and a lot of good hoop ahead" (CBSSPORTS.com, 3/25).
