The NCAA basketball tournament resumes Saturday with the Sweet 16 matchups. On the men's side, this follows a wild five days of upsets, led by the Pac-12 Conference. It's the topic of this week's conversation between KNKX sports commentator Art Thiel and Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick.

There are three Pac-12 teams in the Sweet 16 of the women's NCAA tournament. Arizona plays Texas A&M Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon, top-seeded Stanford takes on Missouri State and Oregon plays Louisville.
