Sweet Sixteen Field Set

(Click to enlarge bracket).

The first week of the NCAA Tournament is over. 48 teams have been eliminated. The field of 64 teams has been whittled down to the remaining Sweet 16.

Western Kentucky and Davidson are this year's surprise Sweet 16 participants. They'll, no doubt, be called "Cinderellas." Villanova and West Virginia are also surprises, but since they hail from the Big East Conference, they won't be called "Cinderellas."

Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA were all 1 seeds and were expected to get this far. So were Texas and Tennessee, which were both 2 seeds (Duke and Georgetown were 2 seeds who couldn't quite get over the "hump").

In addition to the 1 seeds, all of the 3 seeds (Louisville, Stanford, Wisconsin and Xavier) live to fight another day.

Love the blog. Your coverage is great. What are the keys to picking successful brackets? espn.com attempted an article but said its all a real tossup. Are they right? What do you suggest?
