Sweet Sixteen

It Seems my prediction about no seed higher than 5 making it to the final four might just come true, as Arizona is the only team to make it to the sweet sixteen that's higher than a 5. And they're only getting there because they are coming out of the weakest 4-5 teams, Wake and Utah. You've already heard me rant on Wake, so I won't do that again. I think Arizona might be pumped up after hearing all week that they were the team that shouldn't be in. I'm sure they used that in the locker room.

Aside from Arizona making it as a 12 seed, I think the biggest surprise is that Pitt is struggling against every opponent. They were the only number 1 to struggle the full game in round 1, and then they had a single digit win in round 2. I think OSU is a good team, that might should have been seeded lower, but it still isn't giving me hope that they'll play well enough for a championship.

There should be some good games this weekend as Carolina and UConn get tested for the first time, and we have 4 games pitting a 2-3 match-up. It will be interesting to see if Pitt continues to struggle going against higher seeds, facing number 4 Xavier, and if Arizona can continue it's Cinderella run against Louisville. Enjoy, and come back tomorrow as I talk about something other than college basketball for a change.
