Here is a ranking of the teams that advance to the Sweet 16.
It was a wild opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament, chock full of exciting finishes, upsets and memorable performances. But now comes the real drama — when the contenders separate themselves from the pretenders.
Before the games begin, however, let’s break down the teams. Below, The Post ranks the remaining 16 teams:
1. Kentucky (36-0, 1 seed in Midwest)
The undefeated Wildcats haven’t come close to playing their best basketball yet, and still won their first two games by an average of 18.5 points. West Virginia and Wichita State or Notre Dame don’t stand a chance this weekend in Cleveland.
2. Arizona (33-3, 2 seed in West)
Arizona deserved a 1 seed. Nobody is playing better basketball than the balanced Wildcats, who feature the most underrated player left in the bracket — heart-and-soul senior point guard T.J. McConnell.
3. Duke (31-4, 1 seed in South)
The four-headed offensive monster of Jahlil Okafor, Quinn Cook, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow is the scariest thing in the tournament this side of Kentucky’s horde of NBA-bound shot-blockers.
4. Wisconsin (33-3, 1 seed in West)
Of the three top seeds left, the Badgers have been the least impressive. But they could be adding a major piece this week — senior point guard Traevon Jackson, who returned to practice recently after fracturing his right foot Jan. 11 at Rutgers. He adds a major dimension — a penetrating guard — to Wisconsin.
5. Gonzaga (34-2, 2 seed in South)
The first weekend of March Madness has done nothing to change the way we feel about the Zags, our pick to reach the national final. They treated No. 7 Iowa like a sparring partner needing a whipping on Sunday.
The question remains, can anyone stop Kentucky?
