Summary
We’ve had a full day to recover from the opening two rounds of March Madness, four days that brought us cheerleader heroics, iconic mustaches, and some truly stunning performances — none more so than the Sweet 16 run of the St. Peter’s Peacocks. Today, The Athletic’s C.J. Moore — who has been on site covering the tournament in Texas — helps us try to make sense of all the chaos we’ve seen so far in the NCAA Tournament, and which teams now have the best shot to win it all.
