NCAA Sweet 16

Is your bracket busted yet? With the upsets that have happened so far, the NCAA tournament has been full of bracket-busting surprises. Here's what's coming up next.

Ohio State v. Kentucky
Ohio State can out-muscle and out-rebound you with their big men and then shoot the lights out from the perimeter. David Lighty went 7 for 7 from downton in their game against George Mason... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? These guys are going far.

Marquette v. North Carolina
Between Tyler Zeller, John Henson, and Harrison Barnes, UNC is going to send Marquette home in a hurry. 11 seed? What are they doing this far in the tournament to begin with? Full disclosure: I went to UNC and I'm ridiculously biased.

Duke v. Arizona
Jordin Mayes coming off the bench needs to put up another 3-point show for Arizona to topple Duke's Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler. I hate Duke with a passion and have to believe that karma alone will end their run.

Connecticut v. San Diego Sate
San Diego St. is the most over-rated team in the tourney... they're going to go down hard.

Brigham Young v. Florida
Can you say JIMMER?? Jimmer is enough to carry this entire team to the Final Four. Watch out, Florida.

Butler v. Wisconsin
Butler went to the Final Four last year and they just might put on another Cinderella slipper this year. Wisconsin is all-around solid, but it's hard to root against the team that just knocked Pitt out.

Virginia Commonwealth v. Florida State
How many people had this match-up in your brackets?? VCU has been playing tough, but I think the athleticism of FSU is going to overtake them. Hey, it's a coin toss.

Kansas v. Richmond
The richmond run is over. Kansas is legit. Goodnight.
