Eight teams punched their tickets to the Sweet Sixteen on Saturday, none of them surprises. The only lower seeded team to win was 5th seed Purdue, but the Big Ten tournament champ's victory over Washington was hardly a surprise. Villanova and Memphis rolled in their second round matchups after surviving first round scares. Meanwhile, top seeded Connecticut was impressive in another blowout win. Ty Lawson heated up just in time for North Carolina to pull away from a very game LSU squad, and Blake Griffin helped lead the Sooners past Michigan. The final two games of the night provided the most excitement. Gonzaga needed freshman Demetri Goodson's basket with less than a second left to outlast Western Kentucky 83-81 and Duke triumphed in a closely contested battle with Texas 74-69.
These results set up some heavyweight matchups next week. But for now, the focus shifts to today's games, which will determine the rest of the Sweet Sixteen contestants. Here's what to look for today on CBS:
Arizona St vs Syracuse, 12:10
Wisconsin vs Xavier, 2:20
Dayton vs Kansas, 2:30
Cleveland St vs Arizona, 2:40
Oklahoma St vs Pittsburgh, 2:50
Marquette vs Missouri, 4:50
USC vs Michigan St, 5:00
Siena vs Louisville, 5:20
