The first two games of Sunday’s Sweet 16 action featuring No. 1 seeds Gonzaga and Michigan were among the more anticlimactic of the NCAA Tournament, as both strutted to easy wins over quality opponents to secure spots in the Elite Eight.
In the first game, No. 1 overall seed Gonzaga did what Gonzaga has done all season. The undefeated Zags dominated No. 5 seed Creighton 83-65 with a wire-to-wire win. It marked the 28th double-digit win for the historically great Bulldogs, who with the win improved to 29-0 and bask in the category of the Elite Eight for the fifth time in program history.
In the second game, Michigan trailed for fewer than a few minutes before taking the lead and never relinquishing it. The Wolverines won 76-58 in blowout fashion. They are the third No. 1 seed to secure a spot in the Elite Eight, joining Baylor and Gonzaga.
To cap Sunday’s slate, the evening features a TBS doubleheader starting with Alabama-UCLA and culminating with USC-Oregon. The Pac-12 finale marks the first time ever — ever! — that Pac-12 teams will meet in the Big Dance, including the Pac-8 and Pac-10. For Alabama and for USC, a win would signify Elite Eight status for the first time since the early 2000s.
