Lock in your brackets: March Madness is here.
The first round takes place Thursday and Friday with 16 games per day, so there is plenty to watch. Get ready for upsets, late-game heroics and the type of emotion that we have come to expect during this month.
One storyline to watch is how the No. 1 seeds perform in each region. Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida profile as truly dominant teams, but each has some concerns heading into the tournament.
Auburn lost three of its final four games. We are still unsure exactly what Duke star Cooper Flagg will look like coming off a sprained ankle. Houston has had repeated success under Kelvin Sampson but has never gotten over the hump. Florida is led by Todd Golden, a coach without an NCAA Tournament victory to his name, let alone a deep run.
And that’s just one seed line. It will be very intriguing to see how things play out over the coming weeks. Keep reading for the full tournament schedule, as well as what games are airing and on what networks each day as the Round of 64 continues.
