NCAA TOURNAMENT: SUNDAY GAMES OPEN THREAD

And then there were 24.  Half of the Sweet 16 field is set.  The other half gets determined today.  Thursday's UPSETMANIA set up some oddball match-ups, like #11 UCLA vs #14 UAB, but Friday's near-scratch day has set up far more conventional match-ups -- but some very fascinating ones.  Virginia-Michigan State is a rematch from the NCAA Tournament a year ago (and one of the better games in the tournament, too), while Kansas-Wichita State is a delicious intra-state showdown that is rarely ever played (to the chagrin of Wichita State and their fans).  Oregon-Wisconsin matches two very potent offenses (who play at very different tempos), while UNI-Louisville pits one of the nation's best offenses (UNI) against one of the nation's top defenses (Louisville).  Oh, and there's that little Gonzaga-Iowa game, too... although we'll have a separate game thread for that, of course.

Here's your schedule (all times CT):
