The lack of upsets is astounding. If every game was won by the top seeds, the Sweet 16 matchups would be 1 vs. 4's and 2 vs. 3's. Ok, so let's look at the East.
Pitt vs. Xavier. 1 v 4.
Nova vs. Duke. 2 v 3.
South
UNC v. Gonzaga. 1 v 4
Syracuse v. Oklahoma. 2 v 3
Midwest
Kansas v. Michigan State. 2 v 3.
West
Mizzou v Memphis. 2 v 3.
Look at those. The only two matchups I skipped was the Purdue-UConn matchup, which is a tame 1 v 5, and the 1 v 12 matchup of Louisville and the mid-major story of the year, Arizona.
Oh wait, no. It the Arizona thats in the tourney every year and won the championship in the late nineties.
Yeah, that Cinderella.
So things didn't shape out the way we would all like to see, but you would have to think this will call for some better quality basketball next weekend.
Stay Tuned.
