How sweet it is for 16 teams left in the 2024 men's NCAA Tournament.
March Madness is hitting its fever pitch, as the 68-team field has been dwindled to just 16. The 2024 Sweet 16 gets underway Thursday, and there's a bit of conference diversity happening among the field — with a small twist.
Of the remaining teams, four squads are members of the ACC, the most of any conference left in the field. The Big East follows with three teams left in the fold, while several other conferences are represented with at least one squad.
While some expected the ACC to flounder once the tournament got underway, it's no surprise to see some of the conference stalwarts keep dancing as the calendar nears April. Well, that's what makes it "madness," right?
Here's what to know about the Sweet 16, the conferences and how you can watch more chaos unfold come Thursday:
