Overview
- Men’s Sweet 16 resumes Thursday and Friday, including No. 4 Alabama vs. No. 1 Michigan on Friday at 7:35 p.m. ET at Chicago’s United Center on TBS/truTV.
- Oddsmakers list Michigan as a double‑digit favorite over Alabama (-10.5), with tighter lines elsewhere such as Nebraska (-1.5) vs. Iowa, reflecting a largely chalk bracket.
- Iowa’s 73–72 win over top‑seeded defending champion Florida and St. John’s last‑second layup to beat Kansas headlined the weekend’s buzzer‑beaters and upsets.
- Women’s bracket continues its second round today on ESPN, highlighted by Alabama vs. Louisville at 11:00 a.m. CT after the Tide beat Rhode Island 68–55 behind 21 points from Jessica Timmons.
- Several women’s Sweet 16 berths are already secured, with Texas advancing to the Fort Worth regional, while more spots will be filled today before regional play later this week.
