WASHINGTON — After three days to decompress from the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament (also known as the best weekend in sports), the Sweet 16 is upon us. And despite some crazy first-round upsets from the likes of Middle Tennessee, we’re left with only two double-digit seeds and all four #1 seeds going into the second weekend of The Dance.

Maryland draws top overall seed Kansas in Louisville on Friday, where our own George Wallace will be following the Terps as long as they are still alive. Meanwhile Virginia takes on a loaded Iowa State team in Chicago on Friday. WTOP’s resident college basketball guru Dave Preston joins me to break down what’s happened so far, what to expect from the local teams, and how our outlooks have changed.

Check out the audio above, and my apologies to Iowa State forward Jameel McKay, whose name I confused with guard Monte Morris in my cold medicine-addled state.
