The final eight puzzle pieces of the Sweet 16 will fall into place on Sunday as the second round of the NCAA Tournament continues.
There are some intriguing matchups on the schedule, but this is March. Anything can happen, and every game matters. Nearly 12 hours of basketball are guaranteed to deliver wild moments as the Field of 68 shrinks from 24 teams to 16.
The Big East will be well-represented, with UConn, Marquette and Xavier all in action. The most intriguing matchup of Sunday’s slate might be the Huskies’ powerful offense against the tight defense of Saint Mary’s.
