<p>The Ohio State Buckeyes will face the in-state rival Cincinnati Bearcats in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.</p> <p>Since the No. 6 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats" class="sbn-auto-link">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> won the Big East tourney, they've been on quite the tear and it's led them to an unexpected Sweet Sixteen berth in the NCAA Tournament. It's no surprise that No. 2 Ohio State made it that far after a great season that saw them only one Michigan State loss away from the Big Ten title.</p>
<p>Cincy got where they are now by utilizing good defense and rebounding, with neither team they played scoring more than 60 points against them. Their offense has mostly run through guard <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/125920/sean-kilpatrick" class="sbn-auto-link">Sean Kilpatrick</a> and his 14 points per game. Ohio State will be the toughest opponent yet for the Bearcats defense, with a several pronged attack featuring <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124094/jared-sullinger" class="sbn-auto-link">Jared Sullinger</a> (17.4 PPG) and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52369/william-buford" class="sbn-auto-link">William Buford</a> (14.7 PPG) leading the way, among plenty of other talented scorers.</p>
<p>If Cincinnati can keep the points low and the game physical, they could very easily pull out an Elite Eight appearance. Ohio State will need to pile on the offense; if the game starts to become a straight up shootout the Bearcats probably won't be able to keep up. Either way, it's going to be a fun battle for supremacy in the state of Ohio.</p>
<p><b>Game Time:</b> March 22, 9:45 p.m. (Approx.) ET</p>
<p><b>TV:</b> CBS</p>

<p>The No. 6 seed <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> got to the regional semifinals by knocking off the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/texas-longhorns">Texas Longhorns</a> and then the Florida State Seminoles. Each team gave Cinci a scare, just in different ways.</p>
<p>The Bearcats jumped all over No. 11 Texas, holding the Longhorns to just eight points over the game's first 14 minutes and establishing what looked to be an insurmountable lead. But UT chipped away and eventually tied the game at 52. Cincinnati never panicked, though, and was able to hang on for the 65-59 win.</p>
<p>The FSU game was tight throughout. Neither team led by more than five until the final minute. Tied at 50, Cinci went on a 8-2 run and salted away the waning moments for a 62-56 win over the No. 3 seed Seminoles.</p>
<p>The Bearcats had great offensive balance in both contests. Against the Longhorns, each starter scored at least eight; <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52404/yancy-gates">Yancy Gates</a> led the way with 15 points and 10 boards. The FSU game was more of the same: Four players had between nine and 18. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/125920/sean-kilpatrick">Sean Kilpatrick</a> poured in four triples and led all scorers with 18.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> advanced to the Sweet 16 late Sunday night with a 62-56 upset win over No. 3 seed Florida State. Amazingly, it was the first time Cincinnati has ever beaten a higher seeded team in the NCAA Tournament. They had lost their previous four "round of 32" games. It was incredible second-half effort by the Bearcats, which improved Ohio teams to a perfect 8-0 in the tournament and placed four teams from one state in the Sweet 16 for the first time ever.</p>
<p>Mick Cronin's club was led by the guard duo of <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52403/dion-dixon">Dion Dixon</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/125920/sean-kilpatrick">Sean Kilpatrick</a>, who hit all of Cincinnati's three-pointers on the evening. Kilpatrick was four of six from behind the arc and lead all scorers with 18 points. Dixon added 15 points. The Bearcats took a four-point lead in the two minutes, forcing two straight FSU turnovers and capitalizing on the other end with buckets. A huge steal by Dixon led to an emphatic dunk that gave the Bearcats a lead they would not relinquish. Video of the steal and go-ahead dunk below:</p>

<p>With a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line, the Florida State Seminoles lead the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> 26-25 at the half in a sloppy third round game in the East region.</p>
<p>Both teams struggled to find an offensive rhythm in the opening 20 minutes, and combined for 19 turnovers. Missed shots were also a common occurrence, as the Seminoles shot just 34.6% compared to the Bearcats' 28.6%.</p>
<p>Florida State guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99798/michael-snaer">Michael Snaer</a> leads the way in the scoring column with nine points, and is 3-of-6 shooting from three-point range. Cincinnati guards Cashmere Wright and Jaquon Parker are a combined 0-for-9 from the field, while senior leading scorer Dion Dixon is just 3-for-10.</p>
<p>Cincinnati big man Yancy Gates produced only two points in the first half, missing four of his five field goal attempts. Gates will be essential for the Bearcats to handle FSU's length on the interior going forward.</p>

<p>On Sunday night, the No. 3 seeded Florida State Seminoles will take on the No. 6 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> for the right to advance to the Sweet Sixteen next weekend. The winner will play No. 2 Ohio State, who defeated No. 7 Gonzaga on Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>After taking the ACC Tournament, the No. 3 Seminoles had to stave off a furious effort by the No. 14 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/st-bonaventure-bonnies">St. Bonaventure Bonnies</a> on Friday in order to get to Sunday. A win vs. the Bearcats would give the 'noles their second straight Sweet 16 appearance and fifth all-time.</p>
<p>The No. 6 Bearcats had a little bit more comfortable win in their first tournament game, although No. 11 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/texas-longhorns">Texas Longhorns</a> made a late rally to make things interesting. A trip to the Sweet 16 would be their 11th, but they haven't been since 2001.</p>

<p>On Friday, the Round of 64 continued with plenty of action. One of the most surprising matchups of the day pitted the No. 3 seed <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/florida-st-seminoles">Florida St. Seminoles</a> against the No. 14 seed <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/st-bonaventure-bonnies">St. Bonaventure Bonnies</a>. Fans of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> were watching this game intently, as UC will play the winner in the next round. Through nearly the entire game, it appeared as though St. Bonaventure was crafting their very own Cinderella story. It was not to be, however, as FSU took a late lead and hung on to advance with the 66-63 win.</p>
<p>The Bonnies led by as many as 10 points throughout the game, but a six-minute scoring drought by St. Bonaventure helped allow the Seminoles to close the gap. Florida State finally managed to tie up the game for the first time with seven minutes left in regulation. Florida State sunk a three-pointer with five minutes remaining to take their very first lead of the game. The two teams fought tooth and nail over the last minutes, with both exchanging clutch three-pointers, but Florida State managed to hang on for the win.</p>
<p>Florida State forward <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123540/bernard-james">Bernard James</a> led all players in the game with 19 points and 10 rebounds.</p>

<p>Friday marks the second day of games in the Round of 64. The 2012 NCAA Tournament is not lacking in drama, by any stretch of the imagination. In one of Friday's afternoon games, the No. 6 seed <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/cincinnati-bearcats">Cincinnati Bearcats</a> took on the No. 11 seed <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/texas-longhorns">Texas Longhorns</a>. The Bearcats were out to prove that their appearance and high seeding in the tournament was no mere fluke, while Texas was hoping to pull off the upset and advance to the Round of 32. In the end, Cincinnati was able to pick up the 65-59 win and advance.</p>
<p>The game remained close right down to the final minutes, as Texas pulled even, 52-52 with just over three minutes left in regulation. The Bearcats quickly bounced back and put up back-to-back buckets in the next 90 seconds to pull ahead again, 56-52. UC maintained their four-point lead into the final seconds, as Texas was forced to resort to the foul game. It didn't pay off to the Longhorns and they took the elimination loss.</p>
<p>Cincinati forward <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52404/yancy-gates">Yancy Gates</a> had a big game, picking up a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.</p>
