Every team in the NCAA Tournament controls their own destiny. Regardless of their seeding, they have a shot to win it all, and while talent generally dictates the outcome of the tournament, some seeds have punched above their weight, while others have lived up or down to expectations. Here are the best teams ever by seed.
The West Region of this year’s Sweet 16 definitely isn’t hurting for storylines. Duke is college basketball royalty with a king for a coach looking another Final Four appearance. Oregon, the No. 1 seed, is still fighting for respect outside of the paper tiger that is the Pac-12.
The first week of the NCAA Tournament has come and gone, and we have cut down the field to the Sweet 16. Northern Iowa, Stephen F. Austin and Middle Tennessee tried their best to play the role of Cinderella, but the clock has struck midnight on the mid-majors, as the Sweet 16 has turned into a battle of the college basketball big boys — including a record six ACC teams.
