The 2016 NCAA Tournament is underway and there has been plenty of memorable moments so far. From buzzer beaters to upsets, this is the time of year college basketball fans relish.

This past weekend rewarded us with one of the most thrilling and unpredictable first two rounds ever. This week and beyond, will test what these remaining sixteen teams are made of. For instance, the NCAA committee and analysts threw Syracuse under the bus, but so far they are proving everyone wrong with Coach Jim Boeheim leading them.

“I’m looking forward to all the remaining sixteen teams to compete in the Sweet 16 and I hope Syracuse beats Gonzaga,” junior Kevin Torres said.
