The Sweet 16 is officially set. Check out the updated March Madness bracket to see who’s still in the hunt at the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

It has been a wild ride at the 2022 NCAA Tournament, which has definitely brought the mad to March Madness. An insane first round of upsets continued as more of the pre-tournament favorites got bounced in the Round of 32, including SEC heavyweights Tennessee and Auburn, leaving one of the nation’s best conferences with one team (Arkansas) in the Sweet 16.

That is the same number of teams as the MAAC put into the Sweet 16 as Saint Peter’s continued their Cinderella run by upsetting OVC juggernaut Murray State on Saturday night to become the first school from the MAAC to reach the tournament’s second weekend. The Peacocks weren’t the only double-digit seed to survive the first weekend of March Madness as 10-seed Miami, 11-seed Iowa State and 11-seed Michigan also advanced to the Sweet 16.

March Madness will take a three-day break before resuming with Sweet 16 action beginning on Thursday and Friday. Thursday night will feature the West and South Regions, with the West Region actually seeing the chalk hold as its top four seeds all advanced out of the first weekend, setting up a strong doubleheader in San Francisco with Gonzaga taking on Arkansas and Duke squaring off with Texas Tech.

The Midwest and East Regions will take center stage on Friday night and there has been plenty of chaos in each to date. The top two seeds in the East Region, Baylor and Kentucky, were upset to open the door for UCLA to potentially return to the Final Four for a second straight year. Kansas’ path to the Final Four also got a bit easier as 2-seed Auburn and 3-seed Wisconsin were upset in the Midwest, leaving a Miami-Iowa State matchup at the bottom of the bracket while Providence awaits the Jayhawks in the Sweet 16.
