How to Watch 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Sweet 16

About 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Sweet 16

There were some true shockers in the first two rounds of this year’s March Madness tournament. Fuhrman’s win over No. 4 seeded Virginia was a big upset, but perhaps no team had as storied a run so far as Farleigh Dickinson. The No. 16 seed took out No. 1 seed Purdue, but fell in the round of 32 to Florida Atlantic.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are the current betting favorites to win the Big Dance, but there are plenty of prestige schools still in the tournament. Kansas State and Gonzaga still remain, and it is March Madness after all. Anything can happen, so college basketball fans will want to keep watching, even if their brackets have been proverbially (or literally) set afire.
