It will be interesting to see if some teams who narrowly avoided upsets like Duke or Iowa can bounce back or not. I view the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament as a time for the underdogs. So I am rooting for teams like Gonzaga to make it to the Sweet 16 over major conference opponents, generally speaking.
Regardless of who you're rooting for, it's always fun to see how every team makes it into the Sweet 16.
