There are sixteen universities left competing in the NCAA tournament, those competing for the US title. Starting tonight (Italian) the Sweet 16 will battle in the round of 16 matches, spread over two days. Then over the weekend the Elite 8 will play the semi-finals scheduled for Saturday 4 April in Indianapolis, the final will be played on Monday 6. Who will win? Duke, Michigan and Arizona, three of the four No. 1 seeds. 1 of the 68-team draw, they are still in the running. The excellent eliminated is Florida, the defending champion. There is no traditional Cinderella, by lineage Texas and Iowa could not be, but they become one by circumstances: the Longhorns won three games, starting from the First Four, the Hawkeyes, number 9, knocked Florida out thanks to a breathtaking, March Madness-like finish. Among the first-call talents of the NBA Draft to follow are Cameron Boozer, a big man from Duke, Darius Acuff, a playmaker from Arkansas and Yaxel Lendeborg, a winger from Michigan. Dame Sarr, Duke winger, represents Italy. Power relationships, stories and stars: here’s what you need to know about the 8 games.
