The Second Round of the NCAA Tournament wraps up in thrilling fashion on Sunday, March 23, as 16 teams battle it out for the final eight spots in the coveted Sweet 16. Sunday's schedule features eight more pressure-packed matchups, with games tipping off shortly after noon Eastern and running deep into the evening. With the field narrowing and dreams of a national title getting closer, fans can expect nail-biters, highlight-reel moments, and late-game heroics.

Following an electric First Round that saw top seeds hold serve and several lower seeds pull off bracket-busting wins, Sunday's lineup includes red-hot teams and potential Cinderellas looking to extend their magical runs. Programs like Michigan State, Duke, and Florida will be in action, and with a Final Four appearance starting to feel real for every remaining team, the drama and intensity on Sunday will be as high as it gets.

As the NCAA Tournament marches into Sunday's Second Round, the stakes get even higher—and so do the sportsbook bonuses. Whether you're putting your money on top seeds to advance or taking a shot with bracket-busting Cinderellas like Colorado State or New Mexico, now is the ideal time to place your bets and grow your bankroll.

With Sweet 16 berths up for grabs, sportsbooks are rolling out some of their biggest offers of the year. Don't miss your chance to cash in on the top promo codes and bonus bets before Sunday's pivotal matchup tip-off.
