2025 NCAA Men's Sweet 16 Set to Tip Off with Top Seeds and SEC Dominance

All four No. 1 seeds remain, with Duke emerging as the championship favorite and Arkansas as the lone Cinderella story.

The Sweet 16 begins March 27, featuring all four No. 1 seeds: Duke, Florida, Auburn, and Houston.
The SEC leads the field with seven teams, highlighting its dominance in this year's tournament.
Duke is the betting favorite to win the title, bolstered by Cooper Flagg's return to form and two dominant early-round victories.
Arkansas, a No. 10 seed, is the only double-digit seed remaining, continuing its unexpected run in the tournament.
This marks the first time in NCAA history that the Sweet 16 includes teams from only four conferences: SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC.
