There are only 16 college basketball teams left in the Big Dance and most of them were predicted to be there.


So far we haven't seen any real upsets or and Cinderella stories emerging, but there have been some pretty entertaining basketball games in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.


All four number one seeds are still hanging around, but two of them have already been tested. Both Pittsburgh and Louisville have already faced elimination in the first two rounds as they went up against teams that seemed determined to do the impossible.


As for UConn and UNC it has been smooth sailing thus far as neither one of their opponents put up much of a challenge for these two number one seeds.


Here are the last 16 teams left in the Big Dance and their match ups in the Sweet 16:


UConn vs. Purdue- expect the Huskies to roll over Purdue and head straight for the Final Four


Pitt vs. Xavier- coming into the tournament I would have put my money on Pitt to win the whole thing, but they have struggled all the way so I see the Panthers losing in either this round or the next


Villanova vs. Duke- the Wildcats should beat the Blue Devils here


North Carolina vs. Gonzaga- expect UNC to destroy the Zags


Syracuse vs. Oklahoma- best match up of the Sweet 16, the Orangemen are red hot and the Sooners have Blake Griffin so this is anybodies game


Louisville vs. Arizona- Cardinals defense will be the story here


Kansas vs. Michigan State- another good match up, but the Jayhawks will advance


Missouri vs. Memphis- battle of the Tigers! I see Memphis moving on
