NCAA tourney simulation Part 10 (Sweet 16 - Midwest and West)
If you want to know previous results just click through the linked threads. Keep in mind these are single game simulations meaning that even though a team might win in the vast majority of simulations that does not guarantee they will advance here.


Sweet 16 games from Midwest region in Indianapolis, IN:

1 Kansas 93
4 Louisville 105

Kansas leads most of the first half, but Louisville keeps it within 5 point until 1:43 left in the half when Kansas is able to extend the lead to 7. Louisville goes on a 7-0 run to end the half and is leading 54-53 at the break. Louisville extend the lead to 8 and then controls the entire 2nd half leading by 8-12 points virtually the entire half. Both teams shoot lights out from the field. Louisville just shoots a little bitter winning this very high scoring game 105-93. Player of the game is Jordan Nwora with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.


11 Utah St 86
6 Villanova 82

The blistering shooting continues in Indianapolis for the 2nd game in a row, but not quite as fast tempo as the first game. Villanova goes up 6 early, but Utah St keeps it close. The latter part of the first half is very back and forth with several lead changes, but Villanova drains a 3 pointer at the end of the half to take a 41-39 lead to the locker room. The 2nd half stays close with neither team able to get more than a 4 point lead for virtually the entire half. Villanova goes up 4 after a Collin Gillespie 3 with 3:49 left, but Brock Miller and Justin Bean combine to score 7 straight for the Aggies who take an 80-77 lead. Justin Moore scores a layup to cut it back to 1, but a Justin Bean scoop shot with 18 seconds left puts Utah St back up by fine and clinches the game. Utah St continues their best tourney run in 50 years. Player of the game is Justin Bean with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals.


Sweet 16 games from West region in Los Angeles, CA:

1 Gonzaga 81
13 New Mexico St 65

New Mexico St takes and early 10-1 lead as Gonzaga misses its first 6 shots and has 2 early TOs. NMSU is still up 25-18 with 6:45 left when Gonzaga goes on a 20-0 run to end the half. Gonzaga maintains control the entire 2nd half as the closest NMSU would come within is 10. Gonzaga is led by a very balanced scoring effort. Player of the game is Filip Petrusev with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.


6 BYU 87
15 UC Irvine 74

BYU jumps out to an early 13-4 lead and a little later goes on a 12-0 run to take a commanding 33-11 lead with 7 minutes left in the half. They continue to push and extend the lead to 27 points (50-23) at the break. They let off the gas some in the 2nd half, but are never really threatened. UC Irvine does cut the lead to 10 at one point, but a Toolson 3 pointer and a Childs dunk push it back to 15. BYU wins this one handily 87-74. Player of the game is Yoeli Childs with 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals. Haws added 19 points and 7 assists while Toolson chipped in 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.
