Perhaps the true highlight of just how fantastic the Sweet 16 games were came in the Michigan State-Memphis game. This game got so lopsided that at one point during the second half, the Spartans went on a 17-0 run...and still trailed by 17 points. Memphis also hit cruise control at that point en route to a nice, easy, 92-74 final score.
I found it interesting that on both days, the one truly competitive game was the earliest one. I can only hope that form holds true, because that means this weekend we'll get two competitive games out of four - perhaps the highest percentage of good basketball yet. These games will all be worth watching early, at the very least, because all four have equal potential to be close the entire time or never even a contest.
