With a crazy second round that went down Saturday and Sunday, we decide to take a look at the NCAA Tournament: The 20 Best Sneakers of the Weekend. There were a lot of nail biting victories from teams like La Salle, Ohio State, and Miami; and a lot of blowouts from teams like Louisville and Oregon. In the midst of the madness, we got to check out a lot of Nike heat from Kobe to Barkley, some great kicks from adidas and much more. To see the sneakers we highlighted check out The 20 Best Sneakers of 2nd Round of the NCAA Tournament.
