In this episode of The Red Light Sports Ramble, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, Evan Witalison and Troy Otradovec will take a look at the official NCAA Tournament Brackets.  How many of your Sweet 16 teams, are remaining? Only one double digit seed remains, but a number one and two number two seeds, are gone.  The game that is never scheduled during the regular season; Wichita State and Kansas, final took place.  Not only were bragging rights, on the line, but a trip to the Sweet 16.  The Shockers came out on a mission, and literally shocked the Jayhawks.  Some argued that Virginia deserved a number one seed, but they ended up as the two seed, in the East.  Michigan State is headed to the Sweet 16, because it is rare to see a Tom Izzo team lose, on the first weekend.  Virginia could only muster 54 points, even though they outrebounded the Spartans.  Travis Trice started hot, and led the Spartans, with 23 points.  The biggest upset, was Saturday night, when North Carolina State dropped Villanova.  Sometimes you live and die with the outside shot, and Villanova had a hard time finding their range, from beyond the arc.  They finished the game 9-28 (32.1%), but the key stat was rebounding.  The Wolfpack out muscled the Cats and had a +13, on the glass (45-32).  Listen and call the show with your thoughts.
