North Carolina vs Indiana. That's the matchup I want to see the most right now. I want to see NC go up against a really stout defense, one that managed to knock out Kentucky in the first round. And see what happens. NC is my pick to win it all, and I am glad they got a tough opponent in the 2nd round, that should really challenge them, and possibly allow them to flex their 3-pt shooting a lot more. I expect like 20+ attempts. Totally down for that game.
Otherwise, we only have one other fully determined matchup on the Sweet Sixteen bracket: Virginia vs Iowa State. I would be shocked if this turned out to be a competitive game though. Virginia is too strong; they should completely roll here.
IF we can manage to see Hawaii play Kansas, that would be amazing. And a Miami v Villanova matchup would also be awesome.
What Sweet Sixteen matchup are you most looking forward to?
It's all set now:
Kansas v MarylandMiami v VillanovaOregon v DukeTexas A&M v OklahomaNorth Carolina v IndianaNotre Dame v WisconsinVirginia v Iowa StateGonzaga v Syracuse
Mark me down for the ones in bold being the best games to watch out for. They could all 3 go either way. All should be really close and competitive.
Otherwise, I see Kansas, Duke, NC, Wisconsin, and Virginia all winning fairly easily.
Totally misjudged that Villanova/Miami game. 92-69. Hurricanes got destroyed. Was actually a pretty boring game. My bracket is falling apart with that one AND Duke falling easily to Oregon. I had no idea Oregon was for real. They are definitely earning that #1 seeding though. Them vs Oklahoma I am actually very excited for. I picked Sooners in my main bracket to go to the finals.
