After a wild first weekend of the 2019 NCAA Tournament, five of the seven ACC teams remain in the field and have advanced to the Sweet 16. As David Glenn notes, that’s the most of any conference this year. Two of those teams — Duke and Virginia Tech — are set to face one another, too. Check below to see this week’s match-ups: dates, times and opponents.

If the Sweet 16 seems chalky this year, well…
This matches 2009 as chalkiest Sweet 16 ever. Seed total of 49, and exactly same sequence as '09: All four No. 1s, No. 2s and No. 3s, pair of No. 4s, a No. 5 and No. 12.
