The teams are poised to make a run, but it leaves us with great matchups in college basketball to watch and wager on.
Arizona vs. Duke
The Duke Blue Devils survived a scare from the Michigan Wolverines to advance and tale on the Arizona Wildcats. The Blue Devils are the defending champions and have one of the strongest backcourts in the country led by Kyrie Irving who restunred to the lineup after an injury.
The Arizona Wildcats have one of the best players in all of college basketball in Derrick Williams. Williams led the team in an upset victory over the Texas Longhorns and will now try and advance to the Eight Eight by taking down the Blue Devils.
Connecticut Huskies vs. San Diego State Aztecs
The Connecticut Huskies are one of the hottest basketball teams in the country. They won the Big east Conference by winning five games in five nights in Madison Square Garden and have rolled through the first two rounds in the NCAA Tournament. When they face off against the San Diego Aztecs they could have their toughest challenge in March Madness.
Kemba Walker leads the Huskies, but the Azecs have size and that could make this game very interesting as both teams try to advance to the Sweet 16.
The sweet 16 is fun to watch and more exciting to wager on. Stop by Skybook and sign up to bet on college basketball and get a chance to be in the Sweet 16 Bracket Contest!
