The mud has settled and the Candy 16 is upon us.
Over the following two nights, 16 males’s faculty basketball groups will vie for spots within the Remaining 4, set for the Alamodome in San Antonio.
All 4 No. 1 seeds — Florida, Duke, Auburn, and Houston — stay alive within the Candy 16. The energy of these groups make it potential that for the primary time since 2008, and for simply the second time within the historical past of the event, all 4 will attain the Remaining 4.
However there may be some enterprise to maintain first, beginning tonight when two of these No. 1 seeds shall be in motion. Within the West Area Florida will tangle with Maryland and the “Crab 5,” whereas Duke squares off with Arizona within the East Area.
Within the different two video games on Thursday No. 6 BYU will face No. 2 Alabama within the East whereas No. 3 Texas Tech takes on No. 10 Arkansas (the one double-digit seed to achieve the Candy 16) within the West.
Right here is the schedule and TV data for the 2025 males’s Candy 16.
