Sweet 16 2015: Updated Bracket and TV Info for Remainder of NCAA Tournament

Brian MaziqueMar 27, 2015

In case you didn't know, the Kentucky Wildcats are for real. On Thursday night, the Wildcats beat the West Virginia Mountaineers like they had stolen something in a land that believes in medieval punishment toward thieves.

We heard guarantees from the West Virginia side before the game, but things clearly didn't go as planned. Kentucky's 79-38 win sent it emphatically to the Elite Eight. The Arizona Wildcats, Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Wisconsin Badgers joined them as winners of Thursday's Sweet 16 games. Here's the updated bracket with another four games to come on Friday.

Friday's Best Games

Utah vs. Duke

PORTLAND, OR - MARCH 19: Delon Wright #55 of the Utah Utes controls the ball in the first half against the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks during the second round of the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Moda Center on March 19, 2015 in Portland, Ore

The Blue Devils look like one of the few teams capable of pushing Kentucky should they advance to the national championship game. However, Duke has a tough matchup on its hands Friday night from the Utes. Utah point guard Delon Wright has already provided the Blue Devils with some bulletin board material. Per Duke Nation, Wright said:

As a team, Utah makes just under 41 percent of its threes. With that type of marksmanship from long range, Utah has the ability to shoot any opponent out of the gym. The Utes are also one of the few teams with the size on the frontcourt to contend with Duke's superstar center, Jahlil Okafor.

If Utah has a good shooting performance and it competes on the glass, an upset could be on the horizon.

NC State vs. Louisville

LOUISVILLE, KY - FEBRUARY 14: Anthony Barber #12 of the North Carolina State Wolfpack drives to the basket against Montrezl Harrell #24 of the Louisville Cardinals during the game at KFC Yum! Center on February 14, 2015 in Louisville, Kentucky. North Caro

After becoming the first team in the tournament to knock off a No. 1 seed, the Wolfpack will look to do the same to No. 4 Louisville.

From a pure athletic standpoint, NC State can play with anyone. It proved that by turning away the top-seeded Villanova Wildcats and by being the first team to beat Duke in the regular season.

Behind 21 points from Anthony Barber and a 47-37 edge on the glass, the Wolfpack defeated Louisville 74-65 in their regular-season meeting. Can Louisville get some revenge on Friday? It's going to be fun to watch.
