We've narrowed the NCAA Tournament field all the way down from 68 to 16, and we're just days away from the Sweet 16 tipping off. Here's everything you need to know about Thursday and Friday's eight huge matchups.
The round of 64 saw a massive amount of upsets, with 14-seed Oakland knocking off 3-seed Kentucky, 13-seed Yale stunning 4-seed Auburn, and a trio of 11-seeds winning in Duquesne, Oregon, and NC State.
The second round proved to be far more chalky, though, as every single favorite won on Saturday and all except 3-seed Baylor did on Sunday.
That means we have just one double-digit seed left in the field in NC State, with 5-seed San Diego State as the only true mid-major team left standing in the tournament.
As well all anxiously await some exciting matches on Thursday and Friday, here's all you need to know for the Sweet 16 games, including when tip-off is scheduled for, how to watch, and what the betting line is as of Tuesday.
