Welcome to the heavyweight Sweet 16 of 2024. This group of regional semifinalists collectively carries one of the highest average seeds we've seen since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
Sweet 16. Second weekend. Regional semifinals. Whatever you call it, we've made it to this point. Just about one-quarter of the field is left, and we can all take a breath. Some of how we got here was expected: No. 1 seeds UConn and Purdue did UConn and Purdue things; North Carolina kept hammering home why it deserved that 1-seed, while Houston has us wondering if it is in fact the weakest of the top four teams. (This is the first time since 2019 that all four 1-seeds and all four 2-seeds made it out of the first weekend — just the fifth time since the field went to 64 teams in 1985.)
No. 7 seed Duke and 5-seeds Colorado and Baylor all won on their opponents' home court Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16.
