The NCAA Tournament committee experienced the best of both worlds this weekend.
First, they witnessed a slew of nail-biting finishes – including Duke's no-way-that-just-happened victory over UCF.
And secondly, the vast majority of high seeds advanced to the Sweet 16, meaning we're on track for another four-day extravaganza of big stars, premium clashes and crazy endings (Thursday-Sunday).
11Alive Sports offers a first look at the Sweet 16 matchups, featuring all four top seeds (Duke, North Carolina, Gonzaga, Virginia) and just one double-digit seed (No. 12 Oregon).
