After a wild first round that was overwhelmed by No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson, who prevailed against No. 1 Purdue, the second round of March Madness 2023 could perhaps have been even better.
The weekend included exciting finishes, a No. 15 advancing into the Sweet 16 for the third straight year and three Bluebloods being eliminated. Kentucky, Kansas and Duke are out. Sixteen of America’s best teams will be there.
The Sweet 16 promises more drama. Florida Atlantic and Princeton are looking to extend their dream seasons, Dan Hurley and Eric Musselman will meet in a matchup of fiery coaches, and the last two remaining No. 1 seeds are hoping to just hold on for another game.
Once the Sweet 16 is complete, the Elite Eight could provide one of the most unusual Final Four fields in recent memory.
