The Sweet 16 will have no team seeded No. 11 or higher for the first time since 2007 .

Colorado State , Drake and McNeese were the only teams that pulled off significant upsets in the first round.

No. 1 seeds had no more than five losses this season , none of the top 10 overall seeds had double-digit losses.

This year 's Sweet 16 exclusively will have teams from major conferences.

In the Midwest Region , the top four seeds are alive and with the exception of Arkansas , all remaining teams are seeded No. 6 or better.

It will be heavyweight fights for the remaining 15 games of the college basketball season.

Yet it will be without the ones that make March the spectacle that it is.
