The Sweet Sixteen is set - there's the favorites (Baylor/Notre Dame/Connecticut/Stanford), the scrappy underdogs (St. Bonaventure/South Carolina), the Cinderellas (Kansas/Gonzaga, who is only a Cindy by seed at this point) and the eight others who's seed proved to be right (Georgia Tech/St. John's/Texas A&M/Tennessee/Penn State/Kentucky/Duke/Maryland).
