And now...on to a real basketball topic........
Here are the teams left in the Sweet Sixteen
East --- Ohio State, Kentucky, Marquette, North Carolina
Southeast -- Butler, Wisconsin, BYU, Florida
Southwest -- Kansas, Richmond, VCU, Florida State
West --- Duke, Arizona, UConn, San Diego State
There are SIX mid-majors -- four of whom had to beat considerably higher seeds to get here.
Five are 8-seeds or worse...and because of the matchup of VCU(11 seed)/Florida State(10 seed), it's guaranteed that at least ONE 10 or worse seed will make the Elite Eight!
Only twice has a seed this low (1986, LSU 11 seed & 2006, George Mason 11 seed) made it to the Final Four.
BUT -- what do you want to bet we'll hear more about Kyrie Irving's bummed toe than we will hear about VCU or Richmond??
By the way a BIG congrats to Buzz Williams, Shaka Smart, Dave Rose and Chris Mooney for tying JIM LES for career Sweet 16 appearances
