By Matt Norlander, CBS Sports

(CBS Sports) The Sweet 16 is scrambled and missing a lot of top seeds -- but it's set. After one of the wildest bracket-burning first weekends ever, the tip times and announcing teams have been arranged for the second weekend. The Sweet 16 begins Thursday and concludes Friday. The games will air on CBS and TBS.

NOTE: The national semifinals from San Antonio will be televised Saturday, March 31, on TBS with team-specific "TeamCast" broadcast on TNT and truTV. The national championship will air Monday, April 2, on TBS.

Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery and Tracy Wolfson will be on the call for the Final Four and national championship games on TBS. Veteran play-by-play voice Ian Eagle will be on the mic for the regional semifinals and finals for the first time.
