2025 NCAA Tournament bracket: College basketball scores, March Madness TV schedule, streaming, where to watch

The final eight tickets to the Sweet 16 will be punched Sunday, as the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament winds to a close with a series of quality showdowns between teams fighting to keep their seasons alive. Among those in action are some of the top brands in the sport, including the two-time reigning national champions.

No. 8 seed UConn will have its hands full to start the day against No. 1 seed Florida as the Gators enter with 13 wins in their past 14 games after an impressive run through the SEC Tournament. The other No. 1 seed in action Sunday is Duke, which will take on No. 9 seed Baylor in a game showcasing a pair of likely top-five picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Cooper Flagg is the star for the Blue Devils, but Duke will be tested by electric Baylor shooting guard VJ Edgecombe. Later on in the day, No. 2 seed Michigan State will look to keep its special season going as the Spartans take on No. 10 seed New Mexico and star guard Richard Pitino.

Then, in the nightcap, two former Pac-12 foes square off as No. 4 seed Arizona and No. 5 seed Oregon battle for the right to advance. The Ducks have quietly been one of the best teams in the sport over the past six weeks and are seeking their sixth Sweet 16 appearance in 13 seasons under coach Dana Altman.
