Last week, there were 68 teams competing for a chance to win NCAA basketball’s richest prize, a national championship. That number has decreased to 16, meaning the Sweet 16 is finally here. Four games will be played each day Thursday and Friday, and you can watch them on TBS, CBS, or online at NCAA.com.

All eight games should be exciting, but the No. 3 UCLA Bruins vs. the No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats is the game you must circle. For UCLA, guard Lonzo Ball has been a stat-sheet stuffer. He likes to get his teammates involved and isn’t afraid to take big-time shots.

Kentucky plays well as a team, and each player is capable of of lighting up the scoreboard. Driving to the paint will be difficult for UCLA, as forward Edrice Adebayo can alter and swat shots at a high level. He is Kentucky’s defensive anchor and should play a huge role in this matchup.
