The road to the Final Four has exited the first weekend of action, meaning it's time for the 2025 NCAA Tournament to roll along into the Sweet 16 portion of the bracket. Each one of the 16 remaining teams will be thinking about a trip to San Antonio,

Four teams advanced to the Elite Eight on Thursday, coming one step closer toward booking a trip to San Antonio. In the West Region, Florida dominated Maryland and Texas Tech used a furious rally to get past Arkansas. Out in the East Region, Alabama kept making 3-pointers against Brigham Young and Duke's offense shined against Arizona.

Duke stud Cooper Flagg’s highlight reel included a 3-pointer from just in front of the logo at the halftime buzzer, one no-look pass for an alley-oop and another for a 3, and a huge blocked shot into a row of Arizona cheerleaders.

The superstar from Maine had 30 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks as the Blue Devils made the final eight for the second straight season.
