NCAA Tournament 2024: Sweet Sixteen Matchups, Tip-Off Times, TV Information

We've reached the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. Only one Cinderella remains, with No. 11 North Carolina State reaching the second weekend of the tournament. All eight No. 1 and No. 2 seeds are also still alive. It should set up a fun second weekend of March Madness.

After an incredibly exciting opening weekend to the NCAA Tournament, we're ready for the Sweet 16. This weekend, the 16 teams remaining in the field will attempt to punch their tickets to Phoenix and earn a spot in the Final Four.

Yes, we saw plenty of upsets through the first round of action on Thursday and Friday, but only one true Cinderella story remains. No. 11 NC State is still alive, the highest-remaining seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Wolfpack stayed alive with an impressive win over Marquette on Friday, and now they sit just one win away from the Final Four.

Only two No. 1 seeds — UConn and Purdue — remain in the field heading into the Elite Eight. It should set up for a really entertaining weekend and set the stage for the Final Four.
