Follow the Road to the Final Four all month long with an updating bracket and TV schedule
After the 2024 NCAA Tournament got started last week in the First Four, followed by exciting action in the first and second rounds, the first week of the Big Dance is in the books. The bracket started with 68 teams and has since been trimmed down to 16 as we take another step toward crowning a national champion in Glendale, Arizona on April 8.
The first round provided a handful of shocking results and upsets. No. 3 seed Kentucky bowed out early after falling to No. 14 seed Oakland, and No. 4 seed Auburn lost stunningly to No. 13 seed Yale.
The Sweet 16 begins Thursday in Los Angeles and Boston with terrific matchups in store. No. 2 seed Iowa State will face off against No. 3 seed Illinois, while No. 1 seed North Carolina takes No. 4 seed Alabama/No. 12 seed GCU out west.
Reigning national champion UConn is also in action during the opening day of the Sweet 16, and the Huskies have a date set with No. 5 seed San Diego State. The final matchup of the evening will see No. 2 seed Arizona battle No. 6 seed Clemson.
