NCAA TOURNAMENT SWEET 16 FRIDAY OPEN GAMES

Time to see who fills the final four spots in the Elite 8.  Up first: Iowa State takes on Virginia in an intriguing match-up of very different tempos. The other early game is Notre Dame-Wisconsin, which is... a game that someone has to win. Unfortunately.

The evening games feature a match-up of quasi-Cinderellas (or the closest thing we have to a Cinderella remaining in this tournament) in #10 seed Syracuse and #11 seed Gonzaga. The final game of the night could be the best game of the night, with two high-powered offenses and fast-paced teams throwing down for the last spot in the Elite 8. Bring on the points!
