Sweet Sixteen and the No. 1s Are All Still Dancing

Two fantastic rounds of college basketball have gone by, so already the field has been reduced from 64 to only 16 (sweet) teams. Some of the big dogs in this tournament have already exited the dance early, such as No. 2 seed Duke, No. 2 Georgetown, No 4s UConn, Vanderbilt and Pittsburgh… the list goes on. However, the No. 1s are all still in the dance. This isn’t that rare, though. The No.1s usually get a favorable location, a lot of easy teams to beat in the first couple of rounds, and, of course, they are really, really, good.

North Carolina and Kansas have cruised, but UCLA and Memphis have already been tested. Which of these four will be the first No. 1 to leave? Will all of them make it to the Final Four? You can get a better idea of where each team will go by checking out some cool blogs at Luke Winn’s Tourney Blog at SportsIllustrated.com.

Luke Winn always has some interesting things to read at his blog. As a blog ourselves, we have to appreciate a good one when we see it. Anyway, you can get the inside scoop on UNC, Kansas, UCLA and Memphis at his blog, and I recommend reading it if your bracket depends on one or more of these teams, if you support a team playing one of the No. 1s, or even if you’re just a fan of good reporting.
