Sweet 16 Round
Over the last five years, the Sweet 16 round might be best described as the round where the underdogs give it the ole' college try but come up short as there is a 17 game difference between the SU & ATS records of the higher seeds here. Check out these and some other interesting trends from recent Sweet 16 action:
*Higher seeds own a 39-17 SU record but are just 22-31-3 ATS in the Sweet 16 round.
*Similarly, favorites are 41-15 SU. The highest SU winning percentage of any round (73%).
*Overall, totals in this round are 21 OVER, 25 UNDER. However, in games with totals below 140, the results are 12 OVERS-9 UNDERS. In totals above 140, the result: 9 OVERS, 16 UNDERS.
*Seeds #8- #13 who have reached the Sweet 16 are 8-17 SU but 13-11-1 ATS.
*Interestingly, the #8 seed has won straight up in all four appearances in the Sweet 16, the latest being when Alabama beat Syracuse a year ago.
*The #4 seed has done dreadfully in this round, going just 2-10 SU & 4-8 ATS. The only two 4th seeds to advance to the Elite 8 round were Ohio State, who beat Auburn in '99, 72-64, and Kansas, who defeated #9 seed UAB last year, 100-74.
