Here is the schedule, including TV networks and announcing assignments, for the fourth round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. The only region to get all top four seeds through to the “Sweet 16” was the East region, Indiana is the team that holds the top seed.
Louisville is still trending as the nation’s favorite to win it all after the first week of action, and Florida Gulf Coast has become everyone’s favorite underdogs.
The Iowa State Cyclones will have to sit and watch the remainder of the tournament, but it was a valiant effort in a near upset of the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday.
