After a wild opening weekend, as usual, the Sweet Sixteen is set. Here we go!
We break down some basic stuff at the bottom - the matchups, seed and conference breakdowns and so on. But for now let’s take a more general look.
Obviously most of the happy-to-be-here crowd no longer is. Teams like Cal State Fullerton, Montana State, Norfolk State - they got to be in the first dance and go home. But they lost to better teams - no shame in that.
The power conferences are basically in charge now, as usual. Only the WCC, the American and the MAAC are represented and in the case of the WCC, Gonzaga is long since established as an elite program.
