The Buckeyes senior had another rough Sweet 16 outing, but this time his team advanced. Lucky for him, he gets another shot at redemption Saturday against Syracuse.

Sometimes, C.J. Fair shows how he can be sort of a big deal for Syracuse. He did just that last night.

Despite a barrage of Wisconsin threes, the Orange hang on because, well, they're balanced.

For those living in or traveling to any of the regional sites this weekend should have at least a basic understanding of what to expect. Both about the city and the fan bases that are preparing to invade.

My bracket is busted, and your bracket probably doesn't look too good either. But does that really mean you can't call yourself a college basketball aficionado? Mmmm, perhaps, but check out these interesting stats from some of the weekend's biggest upsets. This tournament can be so unpredictable.

Let's be real: it would be completely fair for Josh Pastner's behind to feel a bit warm next season.

So Duke lost, but were they really any less talented and primed for a deep tournament run than the 2010 Duke Blue Devils?

What happens if the Tigers make a deep run in the tournament, and the attention only brings to light the fact he bolted from Miami before a scandal went public? That would be bad, no?

If you like offense, and basketball that is not boring to watch, root against these teams today. There's no place for defense and low-possession games in the NCAA Tournament.

We're looking at you, Big East, Big Ten, ACC and Mountain West Conference
