Now that we know the NCAA Tournament field, it’s time to look at when and where we could watch the games
There is nothing better in all of sports than the NCAA Tournament, and it has finally arrived. On Sunday, the conferences wrapped up their respective tournaments and the field was officially set by the committee. Beginning this Tuesday with the First Four games, we’ll be on the road to crowning a national champion.
Of course, while it’s nice to see who the champion is, very few people will deny that the first two official days of the NCAA Tournament are generally the most exciting. This is where we tend to see the upsets that blow our minds, plus it means that we can watch basketball literally all day long on both Thursday and Friday.
