After the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, there remains a hefty group of Cinderella teams. This year’s Sweet 16 is being revered by many as unpredictable. No one could’ve seen this combination of teams moving on to the third round of the tournament. 

In fact, this year’s Sweet 16 has the highest seed total in tournament history. With No. 15 seed Oral Roberts, No. 12 seed Oregon State, and No.11 seeds Syracuse and UCLA the seed total skyrocketed. 

However, these underdogs are in for some tough competition moving forward. With No.1 seeds Michigan, Gonzaga and Baylor still in the competition, the high seeded teams may be in for major defeats.
