Sweet 16 thoughts about this NCAA Tournament, with some bracket observations and locals to watch.
This season is different
That pertains to your bracket, too. Do not forget that all these fifth-year players change the game. The best of them are pros who are still in college. It's not just Collin Gillespie and Jermaine Samuels, although Villanova would not be Big East Tournament champions if either one of them had left. Same for Providence, all vets leading the Friars to the regular-season Big East title.
