NCAA Tournament Update

For just the second time (’09 was the other time), in the 35 possibilities since the NCAA Tournament expanded to at least 64 teams starting with the 1985 event, the top twelve seeded teams (i.e. the top 3 seeded teams in all four regions) have advanced to the “Sweet Sixteen”/Regional semis.

While most of the top teams won easily (after underdogs sprinted out (21-11) vs the spread in the first round, “faves” not only won but covered three quarters of the 8 games each day, in the second round), there nearly was and appeared to be a shocking upset, however, tournament favorite, Duke made the big plays to survive, vs Central Florida.
