The first three rounds of the tourney had some ups and downs in terms of quality and excitement and upsets, but in the end, we are left with only one mid-major (also the lowest seeded Sweet 16 team since Bradley in 2006), two other double digit seeds from power conferences, and a whole lot of B1G. Outside of Indiana-Kentucky and maybe Cincinnati-Ohio State, no game really jumps out as a must watch, but maybe we can still find some high quality games worth watching. So without further ado, before I go to bed, here is your Sweet 16 schedule for 2012.

Wow. The last game on each night won't start until around 10:20 at night for you.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I remember these games used to be less spaced out as well. Didn't there used to be 15 minutes between tip times at the two sites and not 30?
