The first three rounds of the 2011 NCAA men's basketball tournament are in the books. The First Four took place last Tuesday and Wednesday, and the second round was held on Thursday and Friday. The third round, also known as the round of 32 teams, took place on Saturday and Sunday, narrowing down the field to just 16 teams.
In the West Region, the top three seeds and the fifth seed are still alive. No. 1 Duke will take on No. 5 Arizona, and No. 2 San Diego State will play No. 3 UConn. Both of these games will take place on Thursday in Anaheim, with the winners meeting on Saturday for a spot in the Final Four.
