Sweet 16 Showdown: Which Underdog Could Topple the Powerhouses and Rewrite the Bracket?
Here’s what we learned.

East Region
After the shaky start against Siena, Duke settled in and handled business against TCU in the second round. The Blue Devils remain the favorite to come out of the East, backed by the second-best TRACR rating in the country and the dominant presence of freshman forward Cam Boozer, who’s No. 1 in the nation in both DRIP and WAR.
But Duke’s path quickly gets more difficult. St. John’s presents the first real test, with Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino leading a tough, experienced group. Senior forward Zuby Ejiofor ranks ninth nationally in DRIP, while Bryce Hopkins brings scoring firepower after knocking down six 3-pointers against Kansas.
