The Sweet 16, the next stop on the road to the Final Four in New Orleans
How’s your bracket looking? Mine, not so good, but no one’s bragging this year. With 3,170,914 brackets filled out on Yahoo Sports, none are 100% correct, and the leader only has 42 correct picks. When you have two #15 seeds beat their #2 opponents for the first time ever, it’s tough to keep the bracket intact.
If your team is heading on like my Bobcats, you may be tempted to bite the bullet and head to either Phoenix, St. Louis, Atlanta, or Boston to catch one of the Sweet Sixteen games, so here’s the guide to the best courses within a 30-40 minute drive of each of the venues:
