March Madness

When are the next March Madness games? Schedule for men's, women's Sweet 16 tournament

USA TODAY

Sometimes even madness takes time to slumber. That is where we find ourselves on the rare day when we are devoid of March Madness games.

Both the men's and women's tournaments are taking the necessary breather before they ramp up Sweet 16 action this weekend. First up will be the men kicking things off on Thursday with spotlight games like No. 5 San Diego State taking on No. 1 Connecticut in a grudge match from last year's final.

The women wait till Friday, when the Sweet 16 begins with No 2 Notre Dame and No. 3 Oregon State getting things started.

While the waiting is the hardest part, here is when March Madness comes back to TV and streaming devices in full force.
