While half the fun of March Madness is bragging to your friends and co-workers as your predictions come true throughout the tournament, it's still just as satisfying to watch those final teams battle it out for the championship after a low-seeded, underdog team wins and upsets everyone's entire bracket (we're looking at you North Carolina State). Now we are down to 16 teams that will go head-to-head for one to reign supreme.
