The first half of the Sweet 16 was set on Saturday, with several favorites prevailing to chalk, including No. 1 seeds North Carolina, Kansas and Virginia, plus No. 11 seed Gonzaga.
Rick Pitino compares Michigan to the Golden State Warriors
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThe No. 2 Louisville Cardinals will meet the No. 7 Michigan Wolverines in the NCAA tournament second round on Sunday, and in advance of the game, Rick Pitino had some high praise for his team’s opponents.
Michigan, of course, has had a wild, up-and-down last 10 or so days, with a plane incident before leaving for the Big Ten tournament in Washington, DC, then winning that tournament outright. The Wolverines then played Oklahoma State in a thriller and won, which advanced them into the second round against Louisville. Sunday’s game will be a repeat matchup of the 2013 national title game.

Yale fans have no friggin’ respect for Santa. I guess that’s the answer for “What do you get for someone who had everything?” Yale isn’t used to being in this heady, thin air of March and it’s causing Yale Santa to get a little loopy.
This four-person pantomime is sweeping Yale’s campus (probably). It’s the funniest joke in the quad (likely). Put on your “Sex Kills” t-shirt, pretend to be Santa and have your bud be your arms.

Hug a Cincinnati fan. Not only did the Bearcats lose the two biggest final games of the season in heartbreaking, close games, both losses came down to split seconds.
