Selection Sunday was just a week ago, and already 44 teams have been eliminated from the men’s NCAA Tournament, with the Sweet 16 set to be determined after eight second-round games. Key matchups include No. 4 St. John’s against No. 5 Kansas, featuring coaches Rick Pitino and Bill Self, and No. 2 Iowa State facing No. 7 Kentucky, where Iowa State is in strong form. Other notable games include No. 1 Arizona versus No. 9 Utah State, and No. 1 Florida against No. 9 Iowa, both seeking to avoid upsets as they aim for the next round.
