Upsets galore and buzzer-beaters by the bushel-full have been the trademarks of this year’s tournament. Its been a great year for March Madness tickets, but now is when the real action starts. Down to just the Sweet Sixteen, the bracket landscape looks much different than most people had in their office pools. Just who will still be standing when its Final Four tickets time is anyone’s guess, so don’t miss out on the action. After Northern Iowa’s upset of #1 seed Kansas anything is possible, but you know that its going to be exciting. If you are in the Sweet Sixteen you are a good program, because its tough to win two games in the NCAA Tournament otherwise. There are some great games coming up starting on Thursday, March 25, when the first round of Sweet Sixteen games kick off. There are going to be some really good games so if you can make it out you should get NCAA Tournament tickets right away.

In the Midwest Region, the first of Thursday’s two games will see the Tennessee Volunteers versus the Evan Turner-led Ohio State Buckeyes. Evan Turner has been getting all kinds of hype this year, and with Kansas out some are calling the Buckeyes the tournament favorite. However Tennessee blew-out the Ohio Bobcats, and they are going to try to do the same thing. This is a great game, and you can bet that Ohio State basketball tickets will be going fast if they make it all the way. In the second round of the Midwest Region, the giant-killer Iowa Panthers face off against the Michigan State Spartans. The Spartans, a five-seed, look like they will be taking the field without Kalin Lucas, as the Spartan’s leading scorer will be out with a torn left Achilles’ tendon. This is going to be a very good game, and you can be sure that March Madness tickets are going to be selling hot for that one. The Michigan State Northern Iowa Sweet 16 game starts at 9:37p.m. on Thursday, so be sure to check it out. Both Midwest Region games are at St Louis’ Edward Jones Dome, which will be going crazy. Be a part of the crowd and get your NCAA Tournament tickets right away.

In the Western Region, there are also waiting on what look to be some high-octane matchups. The win of Xavier over Pitt came down to the wire, and although the upset wasn’t as incredible as UNI’s, the fact that Pitt is out of the Big Dance is surprising to many. Xavier will be playing against the other team from Kansas, who are now getting a lot of attention. The #2 Kansas State Wildcats have been playing good basketball, beating Northern Texas and BYU en route to the Sweet Sixteen. They will get a challenge from the Xavier Musketeers. This is going to be a fun NCAA Tournament game to take in so if you can make it you’ll probably see some solid basketball action at KSU vs Xavier. The other Western matchup sees #1 seed Syracuse take on the Butler Bulldogs, who are coming off a win over the scrappy Murray State. You can ask Vanderbilt about how tough Murray State plays if you think Syracuse will get an easy one. Get some Syracuse basketball tickets now and see if they Orangemen can win another tournament. This is another entertaining game that will be driving demand for Sweet Sixteen tickets. Syracuse Butler is at 7:07 p.m., and Xavier Kansas State is at 9:37 p.m.

The big news in the Eastern Conference is that fact that an Ivy League school is in the Sweet 16 for the first time in years, and the Cornell Big Red are eager to prove they can hang with the best. They are going to have to play the game of their life if they are going to get past Kentucky and John Wall, but you can expect both teams to be playing hard. There are going to be plenty of fans in Syracuse eager to see both these teams play so get into it if you can make the trip. They haven’t been shy about buying Kentucky basketball tickets, and as they play more they’ll sell even more. Kentucky vs. Cornell is at 9:57 on Thursday, March 25. Almost as big a surprise to still be in the NCAA Tournament are the Washington Huskies, the 11-seed that took out the University of New Mexico in one of the bigger upsets so far. They’ll have to bring it big time against West Virginia, the #2 seed that beat Missouri by nine points. You can expect some great slam dunks in the Kentucky vs. Cornell matchup, so get some WVU Washington tickets right away.

So that leaves the last region, the South, which joins the rest of the regions with a glaring double-digit seed still alive. The St Mary’s Gaels beat out two-seeded Villanova in another of the many upsets in the opening rounds. They’ll play the #3 Baylor Bears at 7:27 p.m. in Houston. Then you’ve got the #1 Duke taking on the Purdue Boilermakers. Purdue won a last-minute buzzer beater over Texas A&M in a tough matchup for both teams. Purdue is going to bring it, so the Duke Blue Devils better be ready. Their fans are gearing up for a run at the title and have been buying Duke basketball tickets like crazy all season. The best way to get into March Madness is to be there, so stock up on tickets right away. You never know what kind of upset you’ll see when you’re at a game, so get your March Madness tickets before the tournament is all over.
