NCAA Basketball Sweet 16 Midwest Region Schedule: Arizona Still in the Party as Louisville, Michigan State and Kansas All Eye Elite Eight

The NCAA basketball tournament is now in its Sweet 16 stage and the Midwest Region is the lone bracket that still has a school seeded higher than five as the Arizona Wildcats have evolved from a controversial selection for the tournament to the last Pac-10 team standing. Arizona’s success means little to Louisville, Michigan State or Kansas as they all want a national title banner hanging in their gym as well.

 

The Louisville Cardinals were awarded the overall #1-seed in the NCAA tournament and while they face the #12-seed Arizona Wildcats they won’t be taking anything for granted after a tough second round game against Siena. The Cardinals have won 13 straight games with four of those coming against Big East teams who made the NCAA tournament. Arizona had dropped five of six games heading into the NCAA tournament but then beat up #5-seed Utah before dropping Cleveland State in the field of 32. Louisville and Arizona will tip-off at 7:07 p.m. ET from Indianapolis, IN.

 

In game two of the West Region Sweet 16 matchup the #2-seed Michigan State Spartans will take on the #3-seed Kansas Jayhawks at 9:37 p.m. ET in Indianapolis, IN. The Spartans had little trouble in their first round game against Robert Morris but were tested by the USC Trojans in the second round. Michigan State also holds the advantage of already beating Kansas this year, when the two teams met in January the Spartans won by 13 points. The Jayhawks faced a tough North Dakota State in the first round but then took care of Dayton in the second.
