Sweet 16 recap: The Elite 8 picture takes shape
Thursday night delivered everything we love about the Sweet 16. In the Midwest, the Cinderella story continues to write itself as (9) Iowa outlasted (4) Nebraska to keep its magical run alive. They will now face (3) Illinois, who pulled off a gritty upset over (2) Houston in a physical, defensive battle that went right down to the wire. Friday night was no different, as (1) Duke overpowered (5) St. John’s down the stretch, while (1) Michigan outpaced (4) Alabama.
Meanwhile, out West, the heavyweights took care of business. (2) Purdue utilized their massive size advantage to overpower a surging (11) Texas squad, securing its Elite 8 ticket. Waiting for them is top-seeded (1) Arizona, which systematically dismantled (4) Arkansas in a high-octane offensive showcase. The stage is set for two unbelievable Saturday matchups, and the betting lines are already incredibly tight. Finally, we had two great games in the late slate on Friday, as (2) UConn eliminated (3) Michigan State, and (6) Tennessee pulled off the upset over (3) Iowa State!
