Last week, the Arizona Wildcats did what was expected by scoring wins over Long Beach State Beach and the Dayton Flyers. Now, they advance to the Sweet 16. On Thursday night, the Wildcats will face the upstart Clemson Tigers. For the first time since 2018 and just the second time since 1997, the Tigers made the Sweet Sixteen. Specifically, Clemson is coming off wins over the New Mexico Lobos and the Baylor Bears. Clemson head coach Brad Brownell has operated in relative obscurity since 2010-11. But the national College Basketball lines spotlight is now on his program.
