The first four days of the tournament featured 10 upsets by double-digit seeds, not to mention a victory by 8-seed North Carolina over defending national champion and 1-seed Baylor. Now: How will the next stages of the tournament, the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, measure up to the opening weekend?

Plenty of fascinating storylines are left to play out, such as the incredible Sweet 16 run by Michigan, a team that had not won two straight games since early February. Then there’s Saint Peter’s, which under Shaheen Holloway has emerged as the Cinderella of the tournament after upsets of 2-seed Kentucky and 7-seed Murray State.
Of course, there’s still the possibility 2-seed Duke sends Mike Krzyzewski riding off into the sunset with a sixth NCAA Tournament championship in his final year as a coach. And Pac-12 champion Arizona is still in play to break the conference’s national title drought, which dates back to when the Wildcats won it all in 1997.
With that, The Sporting News has everything you need to know to watch it all, including times, dates, scores and more:
