The NCAA Tournament is heating up, and only 16 teams are still in the fight. Two more wins get them to San Antonio for the Final Four. The competition is fierce, and the madness is just getting started.

All four No. 1 seeds are still standing, showing why they were the top picks. The SEC is making noise with seven teams in the Sweet 16, while the Big Ten and Big 12 each have four teams still in the mix. Duke is the last shot for the ACC, and Arkansas, a No. 10 seed, is the biggest underdog left. Unlike past years, there haven’t been too many wild upsets—only one No. 2 seed (St. John’s) got knocked out early. That means the best of the best are still here, ready to battle.

ESPN’s Jay Bilas pointed out that this year’s tournament feels different because there haven’t been as many shocking upsets. He thinks this could be due to changes in college basketball—NIL deals and the transfer portal are shifting things. Fewer Cinderella stories, more powerhouse teams going head-to-head.

Whether that’s good or bad? That’s up to you. But one thing’s for sure—the Sweet 16 is going to be electric.

Who’s Calling the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Action?

CBS and TNT have a stacked lineup of broadcasters ready to bring the tournament to life. Here’s who’s calling the games:

Leading the charge for Team 1, Ian Eagle, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery, and Tracy Wolfson will call the action through the National Championship Game. This is Eagle’s second year as the lead announcer after taking over for Jim Nantz. A CBS veteran since the 1990s, Eagle became the new voice of the tournament after Nantz retired. Hill brings deep basketball knowledge, while Raftery’s humor and passion make him a fan favorite. Wolfson rounds out the crew as the trusted sideline reporter.

For Team 2, Kevin Harlan will bring his signature energy. He teams up with Dan Bonner, Stan Van Gundy, and Lauren Shehadi for the Regional Finals. Harlan is a March Madness staple. Bonner provides sharp analysis with decades of experience. Van Gundy, a former NBA coach, adds fresh insight. Shehadi handles sideline duties.

Team 3’s coverage will be led by Brian Anderson, Jim Jackson, and Allie LaForce on TBS. Anderson’s smooth play-by-play style pairs well with Jackson’s insight as a former Ohio State standout. LaForce brings years of sideline reporting experience.

For Team 4, Andrew Catalon takes the mic with Steve Lappas and Evan Washburn. Catalon is a versatile broadcaster. Lappas, a former head coach, brings coaching expertise. Washburn returns for his second year as a sideline reporter. Spero Dedes leads Team 5 alongside Jim Spanarkel and Jon Rothstein. Spanarkel, a Duke legend, has been a longtime tournament analyst. Rothstein, known for his college basketball coverage, takes on sideline duties.

Team 6 features Lisa Byington, Robbie Hummel, Jalen Rose, and Andy Katz. Byington is the Milwaukee Bucks’ play-by-play announcer. Hummel knows the Big Ten inside and out. Rose brings big-stage experience. Katz adds reporting depth. Brad Nessler, Brendan Haywood, and Dana Jacobson will also be on the call. Nessler is the voice of CBS’s top college football broadcasts. Haywood, a former UNC standout, joins as an analyst. Jacobson provides sideline updates.

Rounding out the lineup, Tom McCarthy, Deb Antonelli, Steve Smith, and AJ Ross will cover early-round action. McCarthy is a skilled play-by-play announcer. Antonelli offers deep basketball knowledge. Smith, with an NBA background, brings analysis. Ross handles sideline reporting for the fifth straight year.

Jalen Rose is a new addition to tournament coverage. The former Fab Five star will serve as both a studio and game analyst in the early rounds. He will work with Byington, Hummel, and Katz and contribute to the First Four and Final Four studio broadcasts.

The studio crew is stacked. Hosts Ernie Johnson, Adam Lefkoe, and Adam Zucker rotate duties. Analysts include Clark Kellogg, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Candace Parker, Jay Wright, Seth Davis, and Wally Szczerbiak. Jamie Erdahl will provide game updates. Gene Steratore will break down officiating decisions.
