The Sweet 16 and the Elite 8 are all done and both rounds were tough on everybody’s bracket. I would love to see a person with #11 Dayton and #8 Kentucky getting this far.
Sweet 16: Thursday
#11 Dayton Defeated #10 Stanford- Score: 82-72
#2 Wisconsin Defeated #6 Baylor- Score: 69-52
#1 Florida Defeated #4 UCLA- Score: 79-68
#1 Arizona Defeated #4 San Diego State- Score: 70-64
Sweet 16: Friday
#2 Michigan Defeated #11 Tennessee- Score: 73-71
#7 Uconn Defeated #3 Iowa State- Score: 81-76
#8 Kentucky Defeated #4 Louisville- Score: 74-69
#4 Michigan State Defeated #1 Virginia- Score: 61-59
The Sweet 16 was very surprising because a bunch of top seeds were beaten. The Elite 8 was even more surprising with results of more top seeds getting beat.
Elite 8: Saturday
#1 Florida Defeated #11 Dayton- Score: 62-52
#2 Wisconsin Defeated #1 Arizona- Score: 64-63
Elite 8: Sunday
#7 Uconn Defeated #4 Michigan State- Score: 60-54
#8 Kentucky Defeated #2 Michigan- Score: 75-72
Uconn is the first #7 team to reach the final four since they stretched the tournament to 64 teams in 1985.
Two teams that didn’t really have a great season and two teams that had a great season make up the Final Four.
Come back later in the week to see my picks in the Final Four.
