Summary

On today's Sweet 16 preview, the guys break down each of Thursday and Friday's 8 games. Off the top, Marty and Rico address the weekend's drama involg Ohio's Tate. Then we move onto Thursday's first game - Gonzaga and Arkansas. Do the Razorbacks have a shot against the top team in the nation? And is Gonzaga still the favorite to win it all? Then we go down the region to the Duke-Texas Tech matchup. Will Coach K's final dance come to an end in the Sweet 16? Will elite defense win out over great offense? Then we move to the South Region where Arizona-Houston and Michigan-Villanova fight for spots in the Elite 8. Can the Wolverines March run continue against a red-hot Wildcats team? And after escaping disaster against TCU, can Arizona bounce back and take down an under-the-radar Cougars squad? We then welcome on the Big Dog, Providence head coach Ed Cooley. Coach Cooley's Friars are heading to the Sweet 16 in a matchup against 1-seed Kansas. Coach talks about the vibe in his locker room heading into the Sweet 16 and what it will take to beat a top ranked Jayhawks team. Plus - Coach Cooley talks about how he's preparing his team for the biggest stage of their basketball lives. Next we move onto the Cinderella story of the tournament, the St. Peter's Peacocks, who take on the Purdue Boilermakers. Does Shaheen Holloway's Peacocks have enough magic to take down another giant? Are the Boilermakers too big and too talented to lose? The winner of that will take on a blue-blood, either UNC or UCLA. Can the Tar Heels late-season run continue? How hurt is Jaime Jaquez and can that derail the Bruins? And finally we head to the Midwest region where 1-seeded Kansas takes on the Big Dog's Providence Friars. Can the magical season for Providence continue to the Elite 8? Are we most confident in the Jayhawks to make the Final Four? Either the Jayhawks or Friars will play a double-digit seed in the Elite 8. 10-seeded Miami takes on 11-seed Iowa State to round out the round of 16. We end things touching on the coaching carousel including Kevin Willard's move to Maryland and Sean Miller's return to Xavier. Make sure you subscribe, rate, and review Barstool Bench Mob.
