The NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 gets started on Thursday, March 28, with second-seeded Arizona (27-8) against No. 6 seed Clemson (23-11) at Crypto.com Arena. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off first month).
Clemson played Sunday night in Memphis, Tennessee, and got back to campus at 3:30 a.m. Monday before starting its journey to the West Coast about 12 hours later.
The Wildcats played their first two games in Salt Lake City and then made the short trip from Tucson to Los Angeles, where they are 6-3 all-time in tournament games. They could be playing on the same Thursday-Saturday schedule they’re used to during Pac-12 play.
Keshad Johnson and Caleb Love are looking to take the Wildcats to where each of them has been before. Johnson played for San Diego State in last year’s championship game loss to UConn. In 2022, Love led North Carolina to the title game. Both players used their fifth year of eligibility to transfer.
Clemson guard Joseph Girard III is another fifth-year senior who left Syracuse to spend his final season with the Tigers.

Clemson and Arizona play at 6:09 p.m. (7:09 p.m. ET) on Thursday, March 28.
