Candy 16. Second weekend. Regional semifinals. No matter you name it, we have made it up to now. Nearly one-quarter of the sector is left, and we are able to all take a breath. A few of how we obtained right here was anticipated: No. 1 seeds UConn and Purdue did UConn and Purdue issues; North Carolina stored hammering dwelling why it deserved that 1-seed, whereas Houston has us questioning whether it is in actual fact the weakest of the highest 4 groups. (That is the primary time since 2019 that each one 4 1-seeds and all 4 2-seeds made it out of the primary weekend — simply the fifth time because the area went to 64 groups in 1985.)
However a few of it wasn’t anticipated: 11-seed NC State rode the momentum from its five-wins-in-five-days run to the ACC nationwide championship by way of two extra postseason wins. Clemson knocked off 3-seed Baylor. There’ll as soon as once more be no Kansas or Kentucky within the second weekend.
We have mentioned how we obtained right here (try our takeaways from Day 1 of the second spherical right here, and Day 2 of the second spherical right here), and the place the groups all now rank.
Now, let’s flip to the precise video games. ESPN faculty basketball consultants Jeff Borzello, John Gasaway and Myron Medcalf take an early have a look at each Candy 16 matchup and predict what’s going to occur on Thursday and Friday.

Borzello: Clemson was improbable defensively in its first two video games of the event, slowing down two explosive offenses in New Mexico and Baylor. Arizona is a distinct check. The Wildcats confirmed actual mettle within the win over Dayton, getting huge baskets and stops down the stretch. Caleb Love, Keshad Johnson and Jaden Bradley give Arizona a distinct dimension than the final two tournaments.
