SIXTEEN IS SWEET BUT EIGHT IS ELITE

With March Madness well under way let's briefly overview what you may have missed over the weekend. Thus far, there have not been many extreme upsets but this weekend it just may get a little sticky. The notorious "Sweet 16" begins this Thursday March, 26th and will play out through Sunday to set the stage for the "Elite 8" and then the "Final Four." This round of the tournament features the 16 teams who were able to register two wins last week and push their teams beyond the initiation. Showcase of the "Sweet 16" & "Elite 8"will be televised strictly on two marquee networks : CBS & TBS. Stay updated with your favorites as they match-up for another intensifying weekend full of collegiate competitors.

The question still remains, will the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats sustain? They'll match up against the #5 West Virginia Mountaineers tonight at 9:45 p.m. E.T in the Sweet 16 where they have not lost the last four seasons. They blasted through both Hampton and Cincinnati last weekend with a totaled +36 point advantage. Most bidders have Kentucky headed straight to the NCAA Championship and for obvious reasons. #3 Oklahoma and  #7 Michigan State will face off tomorrow night at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY. This match-up is already being acclaimed as the must see of the weekend at least by THE BIRTH LLC. The Tom Izzo era continues with yet another Sweet 16 appearance for the Michigan State Spartans who will be looking to make the upset.

Duke, Wisconsin, Arizona, Gonzaga, UCLA and others all remain and have outlasted the first two rounds of the Tournament. Within this collective NCAA review, never mind making mention of each and every team that is scheduled to appear this weekend but let each institution hold responsibility for proving itself  honorable mention on the Hardwood.
