2022 Sweet Sixteen: Freaky Friday
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - MARCH 24: Cheerleaders of the Duke Blue Devils perform during the game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders during the Sweet Sixteen round of the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at Chase Center on March 24, 2022 in San Francisco, California.Okay freaky is an overstatement. But what a night of basketball.
First the obvious: with two teams (so far) in the Elite Eight, Planet Basketball owes the ACC an apology.
The annual infatuation with the over-rated Big Ten, followed by a flameout, has occurred and concluded. Michigan fell on Thursday and Purdue fell to a more determined bunch of Peacocks from Saint Peter’s.
Big Ten? Gone.
PAC-12? Gone.
Big 12? One. The usual suspect.
