The first four days of the NCAA tournament are over. You can exhale; you made it. So did Dan and Tyler, and like true champions, they’re focusing on what’s next and not getting bogged down in the past. (OK, they get a little bogged down.)
Wake Up, College Basketball mourns most of the ACC
Gone too soon, Seminoles/Blue Devils/Fighting Irish/Hurricanes/hoo boy this list is pretty long.
• How did Michigan and North Carolina’s performances in the Round of 32 affect their tournament ceilings?
• What does Kansas assistant coach Norm Roberts have in mind for defending Purdue star Caleb Swanigan, and how will it affect the somewhat thin Jayhawk frontcourt?
• Which top five remaining offense - UCLA, Kansas, Gonzaga, Michigan, North Carolina (per schedule adjusted rating) - could be in for a Sweet 16 letdown?
• On that same note, which top five remaining defense - Gonzaga, Florida, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky (also per schedule adjusted rating, deal with it) - may struggle with an upcoming matchup?
• How have frontcourt players taken over the tournament traditionally known for guard play, and who specifically has stood out?
• Which possible Elite Eight matchup is most intriguing? Arizona-Gonzaga? Kentucky-North Carolina? Wisconsin-Duohhhhh right.
• With Notre Dame, Duke, Louisville, and Virginia emphatically crushing the ACC’s 2017 NCAA tournament reputation, what nice things can we say about the conference?
