Sweet 16 2015: Updated Bracket, Schedule and Odds for 2015 NCAA Tournament

Brackets everywhere have already burst into flames by this point, but the NCAA tournament still promises to bring the heat. With just 16 teams remaining, a No. 1 seed is already out, one double-digit seed remains and, you guessed it, Kentucky is still undefeated.

Kentucky isn't the only Wildcats team with a possibility to head to the national championship game. Arizona has looked dominant thus far as well and might pose a threat to the unblemished season if it can survive against Xavier and either Wisconsin or North Carolina.

Prior to tip-off to ultimately decide the four different regions, here's a look at the updated bracket, schedule and full odds for the Sweet 16.

Upset Alert: Louisville vs. NC State

Coming off an unlikely win over Villanova, NC State matches up with an opponent it is familiar with. During their first game as ACC opponents, the Wolfpack upset Louisville by a final of 74-65 on Valentine's Day.

That upset broke the hearts of Cardinals fans. Now the Pack have a chance to rip a bid to the Elite Eight away from them. As Lauren Brownlow of Fox Sports Carolinas points out, that might be easier said than done against Louisville:

Averaging over 70 points per game this season, the Wolfpack has an offense that can compete against the Cards. In fact, NC State shot 44.8 percent back in February against Louisville and dominated the boards with a 47-37 advantage in rebounds.

In the first matchup with Louisville, Anthony "Cat" Barber was just beginning to break out in conference play. During that game, he had his third 20-plus-point performance in a four-game stretch thanks to confidence from head coach Mark Gottfried, per Joe Giglio of The News & Observer:

The guard play of Barber, Trevor Lacey and Ralston Turner has been huge all season, but it's the forward play that will be crucial for the Wolfpack against Louisville. The Cards have this guy named Montrezl Harrell, a Tarboro, North Carolina, native who embarrasses teams with his ferocious dunks.

NC State's counterpunch? BeeJay Anya.

Just a sophomore, Anya is on the cusp of breaking a school record that has stood for over three decades. Sitting at 90 blocks this season, Anya is five away from Thurl Bailey's record of 95 in one season. That season, ironically enough, was 1982-83—the last year NC State won a national title.

Anya's play will be crucial opposite an offense that has only improved during the tournament. Jeff Greer of The Courier-Journal notes the Cards have moved up in Ken Pomeroy's rankings:

Given the fact that the Wolfpack have a previous win over the Cardinals, their confidence should be at an all-time high. However, it's clear that these are two markedly different programs that have completely transformed over the course of the season.

Can NC State upset Louisville again just over two months later? If the play inside matches the sharpshooting on the outside, this might just be the year to end the 29-year Sweet 16 drought.
