The NCAA Tournament started about as expected, with the upsets, buzzer beaters and extraordinary performances coming at nearly every turn.
Now that the first week is over and the pixie dust has settled, the bracket is down to a Sweet 16 that includes 15 teams from college basketball's Power Seven conferences and Gonzaga. Considering the Zags are already a basketball powerhouse, this is a Sweet 16 for the big boys.
Apparently, Cinderella is sitting this one out.
