And then there were 16.

The 2016 NCAA Tournament has been full of twists and turns, with several high-profile teams bowing out early and a few surprise squads sticking around longer than expected. It should make for an interesting end to this year’s tourney, as it’s nearly impossible to predict what’s going to happen next.

The folks over at OddsShark took a step back from the (March) madness and reevaluated the Sweet 16 based on each team’s record against the spread. Kansas, which entered the tournament as the top seed, is the best team remaining from an against the spread standpoint. The Jayhawks are 23-11 ATS this season. They are 2-0 ATS so far in the tournament.
