The madness continues tonight. Let's get it. The men's sweet 16 tips off is we

0:05.3

got a couple great matchups including two seed UCLA taken on three seed

0:09.4

Gonzaga. My husband's taken on eight seeded Arkansas. That's in Vegas on the East

0:13.9

region. We got seven seed Michigan State facing three seed Kansas State and

nine seed FAU taken on four seed Tennessee in the Mecca Madison Square Garden.
