The first weekend of the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament will wrap up on Sunday with eight games from Pittsburgh, Greenville, S.C., Milwaukee and San Diego.
And by the end of the night, the original 68-team field will be pared to the final 16.
The remaining teams will then play beginning Thursday in four regionals in Philadelphia (East), Chicago (Midwest), San Antonio (South) and San Francisco (West). By the end of play on March 27, a quartet of teams will remain, and they will head to the Final Four in New Orleans for the national semifinals and final April 2 and 4.
