Match Of The Day
After a short hiatus, March Madness returns to our screens later today. After a slow start, hype for the tournament has now geared up thanks to Duke's thrilling win over UCF, and the Sweet Sixteen stage is sure to provide basketball fans with a number of standout matches.
The matchup between Gonzaga and Florida State is the standout game of the day. Gonzaga were among the most impressive teams during the first week of action, averaging 85 points during their two victories, and in Brandon Clarke, the Bulldogs have arguably the best two-way player in the competition.
Meanwhile, Florida State has been much better than many anticipated heading into the tournament, and last time out, the Seminoles dropped 90 points on Ja Morant and Murray State. The team will undoubtedly provide major resistance to Gonzaga's charge, and the team could pull off a major Sweet Sixteen shock.
