The past four days of the NCAA tournament provided buzzer-beaters and controversial endings, incredible performances and more controversial endings featuring dumb fouls and even dumber calls and non-calls. Consequently, John Adams, the NCAA coordinator of basketball officiating, has become a household name. He's been on CBS more than David Letterman lately. A spot on the 60 Minutes team can't be far behind.

But that's all in the past.

Now it's time to look to the future.

The Field of 68 has been trimmed to 16.

Let's take a look with a Sweet 16 Look Ahead:

My bracket stinks like your bracket stinks: Only 10 of the teams I had in the Sweet 16 actually made the Sweet 16. The most impressive thing about my bracket is that I had Marquette in this position. The most embarrassing thing is that I had Vanderbilt in this position, too. That said, seven of the eight teams I have in the Elite Eight are still alive, including my controversial Final Four pick of Wisconsin. So my bad start could be trumped by a great finish. Or not. Whatever.

The No. 1 seeds remain the favorites: Ohio State (+250), Kansas (+250) and Duke (+250) are still all co-favorites to win the national title, according to Sportsbook.com. The biggest longshots are, predictably, VCU (+10,000), Richmond (+10,000) and Marquette (+10,000).
