We’re on to the Sweet 16 in the FOX Sports College Basketball Ultimate Fan Bracket!

5 years ago

Who said there wasn’t going to be a chaotic NCAA Tournament this year?

After a wild first round, the FOX Sports College Basketball Ultimate Fan Bracket Challenge delivered another plethora of upsets in the round of 32, leaving the bracket turned upside down.

Let’s see where everyone stands:

Three of our No. 1 seeds still remain, but three of the four No. 2 seeds fell in the second round, leaving the Kentucky Wildcats as the last 2-seed standing.

The second-seeded Michigan State Spartans fell victim to the BYU Cougars, a 10-seed in the West Region of the bracket.

Cougars 1, Wildcats 0.

The energy of BYU head coach Mark Pope has clearly rubbed off on his fanbase.

BYU will be facing off against arguably the hottest fanbase in the Fan Bracket Challenge: the Dayton Flyers, an 11-seed in the West Region.

The Flyers toppled the third-seeded Wisconsin Badgers to advance to the Sweet 16.

Some dancing is in order.

Wisconsin had no choice but to tip its cap to Dayton.

Moving on, 2-seed Oklahoma was stunned by the Oregon Ducks, a 7-seed in the West Region, while 2-seed Notre Dame was also upset by the 7-seed Ohio State in the South Region.

The Buckeyes just wanted it a little bit more than the Fighting Irish.

When the East Region’s 13-seed, the Murray State Racers, upset the 4-seed Arizona in the Round of 64, there wasn’t too much excitement.

Murray State played it chill.

But after upsetting 5-seed Villanova in the Round of 32, the Racers’ excitement could no longer be contained.

Murray State will have its hands full in the next round against the 1-seed North Carolina, a school looking to add to its impressive resume of NCAA tournament accolades.

Classic UNC – winning is a way of life.

As for the Midwest Region, the 12-seed UMBC Retrievers are no stranger to Cinderella stories, pulling off their second straight upset, knocking off the 4-seed Maryland Terrapins.

The competition will get stiffer in the Sweet 16 however, as the Retrievers will face off against 1-seed, the Indiana Hoosiers.

Now that we’ve got upsets on your mind, head over to @CBBonFOX on Twitter to vote for which upset you think stole the show in the Round of 32:

With the Sweet 16 set to begin, teams are calling on their fans now more than ever.

The Purdue Boilermakers, the 6-seed in the East Region, are calling on their fans to help them get past the red-hot Oregon Ducks.

And the West Region’s top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks are looking to deploy their massive fanbase to take down the 4-seed Tennessee Volunteers.

Those Volunteers might be giving by nature, but they aren’t going down without a fight.

But the matchup to watch will take place in the South Region.

The 3-seed Michigan Wolverines take on their bitter rival in the 7-seed Ohio State Buckeyes, with a trip to the Elite Eight on the line.

Ohio State is aware of the importance of this matchup.

We absolutely love it.

Remember, fans – there’s a serious prize at stake:

Stay tuned to see which programs dance their way into the Elite Eight!
