The Michigan State basketball team, the No. 2 seed in the South Region of the NCAA tournament, will face 6-seed Mississippi in a Sweet 16 game on March 28 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The game is scheduled to start at 7:09 p.m. ET.

Ole Miss was wildly impressive in its second round victory over Iowa State, and is a team that has serious advantages over Michigan State in areas. Expect the talk about Chris Beard to go from simmering to off the charts as the Rebels pull off the upset and advance to a regional final for the first time in program history.

The Sweet 16 begins tonight as the men’s NCAA college basketball tournament enters its second week. • Four games on tap: The action gets started at 7:09 p.m. ET when Alabama faces BYU. The other games are Florida-Maryland at 7:39 p.
