Men's sweet 16 college basketball:

Butler's stunning NCAA tournament upsets are alive and well again this season, as the eighth-seeded Bulldogs shocked No. 1 seed Pitt 71-70 on Saturday. The Panthers became the first top seed to choke in this year's Big Dance. The first No. 2 seed to make an early exit from this year's tournament was Notre Dame, which lost to 10th-seeded Florida State 71-57 Sunday night. Notre Dame is now 0-8 all-time against the ACC in the NCAA tournament.

The Cinderella story of the tournament is 11th-seeded VCU. The Rams, who had to win a play-in game to even make it into this year's Big Dance, shellacked Purdue, a No. 3 seed, 94-76 Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time. VCU is the only CAA team still alive in the tournament. Also advancing to the Sweet 16 in an upset was No. 11 seed Marquette, which topped No. 3 seed Syracuse 66-62 Sunday night. The Golden Eagles became the fourth double-digit seed to advance to this year's Sweet 16. Three of those four teams are from the Southwest region.

No. 5 seed Arizona upset fourth-seeded Texas on Sunday by one point, 70-69, to advance to the field of 16. Earlier on Sunday, the top-seeded Duke Blue Devils narrowly escaped eighth-seeded Michigan 73-71.
