The Sweet 16 field iof the NCAA Tournament is officially set as college basketball creeps closer to crowning a new national champion for the first time since 2019 after the first two rounds delivered us the excitement we had anticipated. The remaining field features both compelling underdogs like No. 15 seed Oral Roberts and a few heavyweight favorites like top overall seed Gonzaga, which is now just four wins away from a perfect season.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of all was how well the Pac-12 made out in the first two rounds. The Conference of Champions, as Bill Walton like to call it, had all five teams that made the field advance to the second round. Then, four of the five qualified for the Sweet 16 with only Colorado bowing out against Florida State. Now, the conference is guaranteed at least one Elite Eight team with Oregon taking on USC in the third round.
