Campus Reports: Midwest Division

In anticipation of this Sweet 16 weekend's games, SIOC is checking in with students from all 16 schools to gage the reaction on campus.

Conference: SEC Location: Gainesville, Fla. Enrollment: 50,000 Last time in Sweet 16: 2006 (won national championship)

Big Man on Campus: Exuberant forward Joakim Noah is loved by everyone in orange and blue and hated by almost all opposing fans. Before each game fans chant Noah's name as he readies for the opening tip. Noah pays them back with his emotional play.

This is the best thing to happen to my school since: The football team's national championship. No matter what Billy Donovan and Co. accomplish, Florida will always be a football school. (It just so happens that spring practice began Wednesday for Urban Meyer's team.)

Buzz on campus: Everyone is just off spring break and didn't pay much attention to the first two games last weekend. And why not? The Gators showed up for about 10 minutes in both to move on to the Sweet 16, but the excitement will pick up as the team moves on.

Place to be for the games: The Swamp Restaurant, an aptly named eating environment adorned with sports collectibles on its walls. The restaurant sits across the street from Florida's sports complex area, making it a popular postgame stop. --Nick Zaccardi

Conference: Pac 10 Location: Eugene, Ore. Enrollment: 20,000 Last Time in Sweet 16: 2002 (lost to Kansas in Elite Eight)

Big Man on Campus: Aaron Brooks and Tajuan Porter... little men with big games

Best Thing to Happen to school since: Walt Disney legally let us use the Duck as our mascot.

Buzz on campus: Since the conference brackets were announced, Duck gear sales at the UO Bookstore has gone up about 60 percent. More than 1,200 Duck shirts and sweatshirts were sold in the second week of March alone.
