Oregon is the closest thing to a long shot left in the NCAA Tournament. And the 12th-seeded Ducks have made the Sweet 16 three out of the last four years.
Next up for Oregon is No. 1 seed Virginia. The teams will match up in Thursday night’s last game.
No. 2 seed Tennessee faces third-seeded Purdue in the other matchup in Louisville, Kentucky, while Gonzaga-Florida State and Texas Tech-Michigan decide the finalists in the West Region in Anaheim, California.
Dana Altman’s squad from Eugene, Oregon, is one of only two teams left in the tournament seeded outside the top four. The other, No. 5 seed Auburn, was a small favorite when it beat No. 4 seed Kansas in the second round.
