Sweet 16 Men's March Madness 2024 tickets: Price, dates, where to buy, schedule and more
The cast for the Men's March Madness Sweet 16 has been completed, as each team seeks to make it to the next phase of the 2024 NCAA Tournament - the Elite Eight.
Four of the top seeds - UConn, North Carolina, Purdue and Houston - are still standing, and so are their No. 2 seeds - Iowa State, Arizona, Tennessee and Marquette.
They hope to stay alive for a dream Elite Eight clash between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, but they have to win against their equally talented foes to make it to the next round.
UConn takes on fifth-ranked San Diego State, while Iowa State clashes with No. 3 Illinois in the East Regional at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, on Thursday.
On the same day, North Carolina battles No. 4 seed Alabama, and Arizona meets No. 6 Clemson in the West Regional at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
The South Regional, which will be held at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, will feature Houston and No. 4 seed Duke and Marquette taking on No. 11 NC State.
On the other hand, Purdue squares off with No. 5 Gonzaga, and Tennessee meets No. 3 Creighton in the Midwest Regional at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan, also on Friday.
The excitement has been fever-pitch for college basketball fans, especially those rooting for the teams in contention for the NCAA championship. And this early, some are scouting for the best seats in those arenas as tickets for Sweet 16 are already available.
