2016 NCAA Tournament: Recapping Act I of the Sweet 16

Anyone hoping for upsets in the first half of the Sweet 16 on Thursday came away disappointed, as the top two seeds in the West and South regions all dominated their games to advance to the Elite 8 on Saturday night. Oregon and Oklahoma will play, followed by Kansas v. Villanova. I'm expecting these games to be far more interesting than the game to get there was.

Really, the only thing of interest from Thursday's games came after the evening's final matchup between Oregon and Duke ended. As the final seconds of the game were ticking away, Oregon's Dillon Brooks fired up (and made) a deep 3 with Oregon already up 11 points.
