And then there were - 16
The highest seed not advancing after the first weekend turned out to be the two-seed Wisconsin Badgers. It seems the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels were too much for the cheeseheads.
Also exiting early are the Texas Longhorns. The four-seed left early after stumbling to Pac-10 darling, USC.
Florida, Butler, UNLV, Oregon, Kansas, Southern Illinois, Pittsburgh, UCLA, Memphis, Texas A & M, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Ohio State, Tennessee, North Carolina and USC have danced their way into the Sweet Sixteen.
This season marks the first time in recent years that a double-digit team did not advance to the second weekend. #7 UNLV is the lowest seed to move on.
