Later in the evening, reigning national champion South Carolina takes on Maryland, a team that knows the meaning of "survive and advance" quite well. The Terrapins punched their ticket to the Sweet 16 with a double-overtime victory over Alabama after overcoming a 17-point deficit.

Madness is in full swing and the second weekend of the women's tournament begins on Friday with Sweet 16 action in Birmingham and Spokane.

Madness continues Friday with eight more games, as the men’s Sweet 16 concludes and the women’s Sweet 16 begins. The afternoon started with the No. 2 seed Duke women topping No. 3 North Carolina, 47-38.
