Thursday and Friday's Sweet Sixteen games a mixture of eclectic mix of classic match ups of storied schools and Cinderellas making improbable historic runs to the final four. Thursday, Uncle Vern and the Raft are in DC, where the top four seeds in the East bracket play in semis. The featured games is the Syracuse Orange playing in their last season in the Big East, taking on the #1 team in America, Indiana. The Staples Center in LA will have two surprise teams making unlikely runs as 9th seed Wichita State take on 13th seed LaSalle in the later half of the Western brackets doubleheader. Kevin Harlan, Len Elmore and Reggie Miller will be on the call for TBS.
Friday night, all eyes will be in Cowboys Stadium as the Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast, the first 15th seed in NCAA history to make it this far in the tournament, sour in the sweet 16 to play SEC powerhouse Florida. Turner's Marv Albert and Steve Kerr will get the assignment in Dallas. Indianapolis will be site for what appears to be two classic as Pac12 Champs, and grossly under seeded, Oregon take on Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals. That will be followed by a Big Ten-ACC showdown between Michigan St and Duke.
