With the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament behind us, it’s time to look forward to the Sweet 16 and the remaining teams in the 2022 bracket.
Sweet 16 Power Rankings:
1. Gonzaga Zags
The Zags have had two games closer than most may have expected, but they are still the favorite in the field. It’ll only get harder from here, but the Bulldogs remain the best team in the country.
2. Arizona Wildcats
The Wildcats faced quite a scare late Sunday night but were able to eke out an overtime win over #9 TCU on the back of a performance from Bennedict Mathurin that college basketball fans won’t soon forget.
