Here we go again. After three days of non-stop hoops action, the third round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament resumes on Sunday with eight more games to be played and four more spots in the Sweet 16 up for grabs.
Up first, No. 2 Ohio State will look to avoid the fates of the other top seeds in the West Region. No. 3 New Mexico, No. 4 Kansas State and No. 5 Wisconsin all were sent packing in the second round, while No. 1 seed Gonzaga was shocked by No. 9 Wichita State in the third round on Saturday night.
With the road to Final Four opening ahead of them, the Buckeyes will face the wide-open offense of No. 10 Iowa State in Dayton. The Cyclones impressed in a comfortable win over No. 7 Notre Dame in their opener. Do they have enough offense to take down DeShaun Thomas and Ohio State?
Following OSU-ISU in Dayton, Indiana will face an upset-minded Temple team. The No. 1 seed in the East Region, the Hoosiers cruised in their opening win over No. 16 James Madison. No. 9 Temple held off mercurial N.C. State thanks in large part to Khalif Wyatt, the nation's fourth-leading scorer. Wyatt poured in 31 points in the win over the No. 8 Wolfpack. How many will he need to overcome Cody Zeller, Victor Oladlipo and Yogi Ferrell?
