It only took us 17 seconds to decide that we're crossing our fingers that Huggybear will wear this outfit for the Mountaineer's game against Washington.


We can all breathe a sigh of relief: the NCAA Tournament will resume play Thursday night at 7:07 (ET) with Butler taking on Syracuse. The East and West brackets will play on Thursday, while the Midwest and South regions will hit the hard court on Friday. By now you know that Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunked on Lebron James during a scrimmage, but here's 16 incredible facts you may not know about this year's Sweet 16:

16 Regular Season Conference Championships Xavier has won without appearing in the NCAA Final Four.
15 Times your daily intake of Vitamin C if you made a smoothie out of Syracuse's Otto the Orange.
14 Days Kansas State's Denis Clemente spent back home in Puerto Rico last summer, where he likely spent much of his time working on this incredible shot.
13 Wins Baylor improved under Scott Drew from 2003 until his first NCAA tournament appearance in 2008.
12 Seeds have reached the Elite 8 one time in tournament history (2002 Missouri). Will Cornell make it two?
11 Times Duke has been a No. 1 seed under Mike Krzyzewski.
10 Australians (that we were able to find) who have played for Randy Bennett since he started coaching St. Mary's in 2001.
9.3 Points per game will be missing after West Virginia guard Darryl Bryant broke his foot on Tuesday.
8 NCAA Championship nets Lady Vols coach Pat Summit has cut down that Bruce Pearl has not. And speaking of 8, the Tennessee men's basketball team has never reached an elite 8.
7 The number of games Northern Iowa has won this year by three points or less after last weekend's 69-66 win over UNLV and 69-67 win over Kansas.
6 Games Evan Turner was out this year after breaking his back earlier this season.
5 Losses all season for Purdue and each have come at the hands of Big Ten Conference rivals (OSU, MSU, MINN, NWU, WIS). The Boilermakers are undefeated outside their conference. This does not bode well for Duke.
4 Players on Butler's roster averaging at least 10 ppg. They'll need that balance to defeat Syracuse on Thursday.
3 NBA teams Washington Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar played for: Warriors, Bucks and Pistons.
2 The number of people Michigan State coach Tom Izzo named his son Steven Thomas Mateen Izzo after: Former NFL coach Steve Mariucci & former Spartans PG Mateen Cleaves.
1 Kentucky fan has dated Michael Bolton and posed in a Wildcats hockey jersey.
