So as we enter the Sweet 16, you probably fall into one of three camps: 1) You are so stoked to see the best teams from the power conferences in epic battles of basketball Armageddon 2) You have no rooting interest in any of this anymore except that you’re bracket is still holding up 3) Your bracket is busted (thank you, Wake Forest) and you just want to get this over with. I’m sitting comfortably in camp 3. Without a Cinderella entry into the Sweet 16, there’s a lot of drama missing, even though you’ve essentially got the creme de la creme of college basketball powerhouses. I’ll probably latch onto Arizona, the No. 12 seed that a lot of people were saying didn’t even belong in the tournament — but considering the history of that program, it’s not like we’re dealing with George Mason here.
