Everything you need to know to watch the Sweet 16.
In the South, will Kansas -- the top seed in the tournament and a team that hasn’t lost in nearly two months -- get one step closer to ending its three-year Final Four drought? Or will Maryland advance to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2002?
In the West, No. 4 Duke, the reigning NCAA champions, takes on No. 1 Oregon, which hasn’t made the Final Four since 1939. In the other game, No. 2 Villanova faces No. 3 Miami. Both teams are loaded with upperclassmen and boast an impressive combination of size and shooting.
