March Madness Sweet 16: Dates and locations for all games

The madness of the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament is over, and only the 16 best teams in college basketball remain. There are only two No. 1 seeds, two No. 2 seeds and three No. 3 seeds remaining. Princeton (15) is the lowest-seed remaining, but there are three other teams still standing that are the No. 7 seed or below.

The tournament will now shift to four locations around the country to play out the remaining games.

The two games for the East region will be played at Madison Square Garden in New York. KFC YUM! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, will host the two South region matchups. T-Mobile Arena in Nevada will host two games in the West region. And the T-Mobile Center in Missouri will host the Midwest region matchups.
