Sweet Sixteen Bracket, Betting Odds, Breakdown & More

| Posted on |

What started as a field of 68 is down to just 16 teams. All 16 teams that remain have been this far at one point in their program’s history, but many weren’t supposed to make it this far this year. There are four double-digit seeds in the Sweet Sixteen, including No. 15 Oral Roberts, and more than half of the Top 16 seeds are already eliminated. The Pac-12, despite being the lowest-ranked high-major conference by KenPom, has the most teams remaining of any conference with four. The Big Ten had nine teams initially but is down to just one team (Michigan).

The second week kicks off this coming Saturday with four matchups, followed by another four on Sunday. Odds and information for each matchup can be found below, as well as each team’s odds to win the national title and a conference breakdown.
