The first day of the Sweet Sixteen is in the books, and by Saturday, the Elite Eight will be set in place. Last night, Wisconsin, Dayton, Florida, and Arizona advanced to the quarterfinal round.
From Memphis, the Dayton Flyers continued their miraculous Cinderella run with a 82-72 win over Stanford. Jordan Sibert (pictured, shooting) led the way for the Flyers with 17 points and 9 rebounds, while Devin Oliver chipped in 12 points and 9 boards. Next up, Dayton will face their biggest challenge yet as they'll meet the No. 1 seed Florida Gators on Saturday night.
Across the coast in Anaheim, Wisconsin earned a decisive 69-52 win over Baylor after a huge game from forward Frank Kaminsky. He had 19 points and 6 blocks as the Badgers advanced to Saturday's Elite Eight game against Arizona.
