After a four day break from bracket-busting weekend action, March Madness officially resumes Thursday as the Sweet 16 for the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship gets underway.
The Sweet 16 tournament will be divided into two days for Thursday and Friday, with the first half of the tournament kicking off at 7:15 p.m. EST Thursday night. First up will be the No.3. Marquette Golden Eagles, who are coming off a 74-72 thriller victory over Butler Saturday, taking on the No. 2 Miami Hurricanes, who beat Illinois on Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16.
Next up, the No.6 Arizona Wildcats, who crushed Harvard's underdog dreams 74-51 Saturday, will be taking on the No.2-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes, who beat Iowa Sate 78-75 Sunday. This marks the first time the two schools have met in the NCAA tournament.
Then in prime time, the No.4 Syracuse Orangemen will be taking on the No.1-seeded Indiana Hoosiers in arguably the biggest match-up of the night. Both schools have a rich basketball tradition, and have top college stars playing on their side, the well-rounded Victor Oladipo (13.5 points) and forward Cody Zeller for Indiana and C.J. Fair (15.5 points) for Syracuse.
And finally, No.13-seeded La Salle continues their unlikely run in the tournament after scoring a stunning upset of Kansas State in the second round, taking on the No. 9 Wichita State Shockers, who scored one of the biggest shockers--no pun intended--of the tournament after they beat championship-favored No.1 seed Gonzaga.
