The dust has settled and the Sweet 16 is upon us.

Over the next two nights, 16 men’s college basketball teams will vie for spots in the Final Four, set for the Alamodome in San Antonio.

All four No. 1 seeds — Florida, Duke, Auburn, and Houston — remain alive in the Sweet 16. The strength of those teams make it possible that for the first time since 2008, and for just the second time in the history of the tournament, all four will reach the Final Four.

But there is some business to take care of first, starting tonight when two of those No. 1 seeds will be in action. In the West Region Florida will tangle with Maryland and the “Crab Five,” while Duke squares off with Arizona in the East Region.

In the other two games on Thursday No. 6 BYU will face No. 2 Alabama in the East while No. 3 Texas Tech takes on No. 10 Arkansas (the only double-digit seed to reach the Sweet 16) in the West.

Here is the schedule and TV information for the 2025 men’s Sweet 16.
