What Channel Is the Sweet 16 on Tonight
What is arguably the wildest Sweet 16 of all time kicks off Saturday as the men's NCAA Tournament resumes in Indianapolis.
Focus on the Midwest Region will likely be centered on Loyola Chicago after Cameron Krutwig and the No. 8 Ramblers knocked out No. 1 Illinois in the second round. Just don't call them a Cinderella.
"Bracketologists watch the games endlessly and watch the plays, but they really don't know the team," Sister Jean said.
Well, the world is paying attention to the Ramblers again.
Meeting the winner of the game between Loyola Chicago and Pac-12 tournament champion Oregon State in the Elite Eight will be the winner of the game between Syracuse and Houston.
Up in the South Region, Oral Roberts remains the story. The Golden Eagles are just the second No. 15 seed to ever advance to the Sweet 16 after pulling off upsets against No. 2 Ohio State and No. 7 Florida. Can they keep the miracle run going?
