Sixteen mild feelings, semi-sweet and bitter at this stage of the NCAA tournament:

1 "While many of the same teams will advance after the first weekend of every year to launch the change. In 29 tournaments spanning BYU's Sweet 16 appearances, 109 went to different schools so far.

Among the top stations Jimmer Fredette and Danny Ainge, the likes of Ball State, Bradley, Cleveland State, Chattanooga and Cornell played for so long - and these are only between B and C.

2 "The team rejected the Brigham Young University last spring, guard Michael Loyd Jr. lost a Sweet 16 trip. But it is in the Elite Eight in Division II. After transferring to Midwestern State, Texas Loyd scored 25 points against Missouri Southern in the regional competition.

Mustangs with seven other teams in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Bellarmine will meet quarterfinals Wednesday.

3 "All the loans were Fredette of 37 points against Florida in March last year, BYU would not have won without Loyd. Not only did he step in a personal 10-0 run in the first half, but played in all six Cougar points in the first overtime and finished with 26 points Ten Fredette finished second OT, when the Florida Kenny Boynton dirty outside.

4 'Jimmermania extends to official state records. BYU-Saturday package Gonzaga included a table from hand-drawn for each team and another entirely to Fredette.

5 "How incredible was that Gonzaga will be favored over BYU? Since the tournament expanded in 1985, now No. 3 seeds are 30-9 against the No. 11 seed.

6 'Two truisms about BYU's Brandon Davies has improved this season. And its influence has been exaggerated, in his absence. The Cougars' 87-65 win at Arizona in December, Davies played in just 13 minutes, when the lynx star Derrick Williams took 13 points and six rebounds.

7 "St. John must be the hope Florida beats BYU. Otherwise, the Red Storm will be judged as the worst performance of the tournament. Seeded No. 6, who lost by 15 points in Gonzaga, which lost by 22 at BYU.

Elimination 8 'Missouri has expanded its number of appearances of the tournament in 24 years without playing in the Final Four. The Tigers BYU runner, trying to avoid a 26th early exit, followed by Xavier (22) and Utah (20).

9 "Every year I said that planting is irrelevant beyond the first three, and then do not take into account that the selection on Sunday. More evidence: Of the 16 teams ranked between Nos. 10 and 13, six have won his first game and four advanced to the Sweet 16.

10 "After proposing something like the first four, I'm being validated by the performance of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Rams played their way into the field of 64 USC defeated then hammered Georgetown and Purdue.

11 'college basketball world headquarters? Richmond, Virginia, home-VCU and the Richmond Spiders.

12 "Please remember my predictions sort of publication, other than having to Florida - not Pittsburgh - the advance of the South East and Kansas is the Southwest Region in Final Four. And it could have been No. 10 Florida State, No. 11 and No. 12 VCU Richmond still plays in the Southwest?

13 'Having decided that the key support person was to assess the Big East, I had a good question, but the wrong answer. While both games intra konference something extraordinary facts of the league has only two Sweet 16 teams among the 11 participants.

14 "Basketball is not just the BCS world. For the second year in a row, five schools outside the six power conferences in the Sweet 16: at BYU, San Diego State, Butler, VCU and Richmond.

15 'Because he was cut twice by the Jazz, life coach Billy Donovan of Florida turned out pretty well. After winning consecutive national championships, his next four-year cycle has produced a No. 2-seeded teams are placed for a second Final Four trip.

16 "The Reverse-Aggie theory is always a good way to gauge the tournament. USU lost to Kansas State, which lost to Wisconsin, which lost to Butler, who will lose to Florida, which lost to Kansas, which lost Ohio State.
