Printable NCAA Bracket 2012: Sweet 16 Takes Shape As Higher Seeds Sweep Saturday

At a glance, Saturday’s action paled in comparison to the carnage that took place on Friday. The first day of the third round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament featured exactly zero upsets, as the higher seed prevailed in all eight games played. Those with the luxury of actually watching the games play out (say, sports bloggers) got their fill of excitement however, what with the last minute suspensions, photobombs, historic performances, and of course, some pretty darn good basketball games.

We understand if you were a little too busy to catch everything that happened, so we’ve taken the liberty of updating our 2012 NCAA Tournament Bracket for you. Feel free to thank us whenever.

Bracket busters Ohio, Lehigh and Norfolk State are all in play on Sunday. Go ahead and print out a fresh bracket (you may need some help remembering who is still playing at this point) and stay tuned for what should be another amazing day of college hoops.
