That Time of Year for March Madness Again

It's that time of year again! March Madness is upon us, and the excitement is in the air. The NCAA Men's Sweet 16 tournament is one of the year’s most anticipated events and will provide exciting basketball action. This summary will briefly overview the tournament, the teams that have advanced to the Sweet 16, and what to look for in the upcoming matchups. Get ready for the madness to begin!

Princeton Tigers, Michigan State Spartans, Florida Atlantic Owls, Arkansas Razorbacks, SDSU Aztecs, Xavier Musketeers, Creighton Bluejays, Kansas State Wildcats, Miami Hurricanes, Tennessee Volunteers, Gonzaga Bulldogs, UConn Huskies, UCLA Bruins, Texas Longhorns, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Houston Cougars.  All these teams have fought hard to make it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and have proven they have what it takes to stand as elite in their sport, respectively. 

These teams are all incredibly talented and have impressive records this season. The Princeton Tigers have an incredible 15-1 record in Ivy League games, and the Michigan State Spartans have had a winning streak since November. The Florida Atlantic Owls, Arkansas Razorbacks, and SDSU Aztecs all have impressive wins. Xavier Musketeers won a hard-fought battle against Seton Hall in the first round. The Creighton Bluejays, Kansas State Wildcats, and Miami Hurricanes performed excellently in their opening-round wins. Tennessee Volunteers, Gonzaga Bulldogs, UConn Huskies, UCLA Bruins, Texas Longhorns, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Houston Cougars have all had fantastic seasons and are ready to make some noise in this tournament!

However, if you are a California native here, things could get interesting for residents of California, stretching from Los Angeles county to two hours south of San Diego County. Both SDSU and UCLA are on opposite sides of the bracketry layout, which could mean there is a slim chance that SDSU could face UCLA for the championship if they both perform well and outplay their opponents in the following three match-ups respectively and win.
