Can anyone beat UConn? The NCAA Tournament for men continues with Sweet 16 games starting at 6:30 p.m. ET Thursday.
Sure, there were plenty of upsets the first weekend of the tournament, but the favorites still turned in powerhouse performances. We see you No. 1 seeds, Connecticut and Purdue. If the Huskies breeze past No. 5 San Diego State, they’ll get the winner of No. 2 Iowa State and No. 3 Illinois in the Elite Eight, which columnist Dan Wolken said could be one of the most exciting matchups of the tournament.
