Kansas, Providence, Miami and Iowa State are all set to take the court at the United Center on Friday in the Midwest Regional Sweet 16.
Six years after the United Center hosted its first March Madness regional, the action is back in Chicago and the script is virtually unchanged.
No. 1 Kansas takes on No. 4 Providence on Friday followed immediately by No. 10 Miami and No. 11 Iowa State. Surprised by the double-digit showdown? This is actually familiar territory for the United Center. These exact seeds matched up on that same floor six years to the day. In 2016, No. 11 Gonzaga upset No. 6 Seton Hall and No. 3 Utah to face No. 10 Syracuse in the Sweet 16. Jim Boeheim’s team landed in Chicago by way of upsetting No. 7 Dayton and handling No. 15 Middle Tennessee, who had upset No. 2 Michigan State in the first round. In a tight game, the Orange overtook the Bulldogs with 22 seconds and held on to win 63-60 en route to the program’s 10 Elite Eight appearance.
