The Sweet 16 kicks off Thursday night with the West (LA) and East (Boston) Regions in action. In the East we’ve got a 2023 National Championship rematch between UConn and San Diego State. The Huskies look primed to move on, but will Jaedon LeDee have anything to say about it for the Aztecs? Additionally, as Iowa State takes on Illinois, we’ll get KenPom’s No. 1 defense against the No. 1 offense. But what happens on the other side of the floor?
In the West, top-seeded North Carolina takes on Alabama’s high-powered offense in a rematch from the 2022-23 season in which the Crimson Tide won a four-overtime game. Will Nate Oats’ team buy in on the defensive end though? Also Clemson will try to keep their tournament run going against Arizona basically in the Wildcats back yard.
In coaching rumors, might we see another Pitino as the head coach of the Louisville Cardinals?
