Sweet 16 bracket: Updated March Madness schedule, game times, TV info for men's 2026 NCAA Tournament.
The Sweet 16 is set, and it's going to feature plenty of high-powered matchups.
The action got underway with eight games on Saturday, March 21, starting first with No. 1 Michigan's 95-72 win vs. No. 9 Saint Louis and ending with No. 4 Arkansas vs. No. 12 High Point. While chalk largely held steady through the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, there were enough upsets and close calls to warrant caution from all the higher-ranked seeds heading into the second round of the tournament and beyond.
On Sunday, March 22, No. 2 Purdue was the first team to clinch its Sweet 16 berth with a 79-69 win over No. 7 seed Miami in the West Region. The final game of the night will see either of No. 4 Alabama or No. 5 Texas Tech out of the Midwest Region.
