Those aforementioned double-digit seeds are the No. 10 Stanford Cardinal and No. 11 Dayton Flyers. Both teams beat major powers to reach the Sweet 16, with the Cardinal knocking off the second-seeded Kansas Jayhawks and the Flyers stunning the third-seeded Syracuse Orange.
The next game on the docket features the sixth-seeded Baylor Bears and the second-seeded Wisconsin Badgers out in Anaheim. The Badgers won't have the precious home-court advantage they enjoyed in Milwaukee that was crucial in a win over the seventh-seeded Oregon Ducks. They'll have to be on top of their game to take down the Bears, who shut down Doug McDermott and the third-seeded Creighton Bluejays in the third round.
The final two games feature No. 1 seeds. First in the South, the Florida Gators will take on the fourth-seeded UCLA Bruins. The game will be an interesting contrast of styles, as the Gators are a more defensive-minded team while the Bruins have been known to fill up to hoop. Both teams showed off their strengths in the third round, with Florida locking down the ninth-seeded Pittsburgh Panthers and UCLA drubbing the 12th-seeded Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks.
The night wraps up in the West region, with two teams from the region doing battle. The top-seeded Arizona Wildcats cruised to the Sweet 16 with an easy win over the eighth-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs. They Wildcats will tip off against the fourth-seeded San Diego State Aztecs. The Aztecs destroyed the No. 12 North Dakota State Bison in the third round.
