Welcome to the Sweet Sixteen

North Carolina and Kansas look dominant. UCLA and Memphis survived, and Davidson, Western Kentucky and West Virginia are wearing magic slippers. These are just some of the stories of teams making it to the Sweet Sixteen.

Individually, Kevin Love of UCLA is as advanced for a big man as I've seen in many years. Not only is he a special talent, he's simply fun to watch. The 7-foot Lopez twins from Stanford are also very talented and play with such passion. However, the biggest show stopper has been Stephan Currry, son of former NBA-er Dell Curry, as he has skillfully scored 70 points in carrying Davidson to Detroit, host of the MidWest Regional.

Whether you're cheering for a number one seed or a Cinderella, every basketball fan has to be enjoying this. UCLA Bruins coach Ben Howland says it best. "That's why this is the greatest sporting event in all of American sports, because anybody can beat anybody."
