Four traditional powers take the court Sunday with the last two trips to Dallas on the line. Here’s how to watch.

SB Nation 2014 NCAA March Madness Coverage

All four Sweet Sixteen games on Friday night were decided by five points or less, and each winner is now just 40 minutes from a trip to the Final Four.

Though neither the East nor the Midwest regionals feature No. 1 seeds, the remaining field on the Friday/Sunday half of the bracket is loaded with traditional powers. First up, three-time National Champion and No. 7 seed Connecticut meets No. 4 Michigan State, which is looking for its ninth trip to the Final Four. When those two titans finish up at Madison Square Garden, it will be 2012 champion and eight-seeded Kentucky challenging 2013 runner-up Michigan, the two seed from the Midwest.

Here’s how to watch all the action from New York and Indianapolis:
