How will the men’s Sweet 16 shake out? Our experts provide their picks

The NCAA men’s tournament is down to 16 teams with the field only consisting of schools from power conferences and just one seed higher than No. 6. It’s also the first time since 2007 the Sweet 16 has lacked a seed higher than No. 10. There are no Cinderellas left to cheer for in the regionals.

On the bright side, this means we will get matchups featuring the best teams from the presumably best conferences. Will that mean bigger ratings and better games? We’ll see. There still should be plenty of drama and uncertain about the winners on Thursday and Friday night and the four teams that will advance to San Antonio, Texas for the national semifinals.

So who how does it all shake out? Our experts are here to answer that question with their predictions for the Sweet 16 matchups, the Final Four participants and beyond.
