Overview

• 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.
