And let the upsets begin as the underdogs test the bracketology skills of fans nationwide.
March Madness play finally kicked off with the First Four games. And the field of 68 is already starting to dwindle as Tuesday, March 17 saw Manhattan College and BYU going home and Hampton University and Ole Miss advancing to the round of 64.
And Wednesday saw two more teams bite the dust as Robert Morris topped North Florida, 81-77, in Game 1. And Dayton followed suit when the Flyers nudge out Boise State, 56-55, to move to the round of 64.
And now comes the busiest two days in sports – the NCAA March Madness round of 64. It’s 32 games in less than 48 hours and when it’s all over, there will be just 32 teams remaining in the hunt for that coveted national title.
We’ll be updating the scores and schedule throughout the tournament as the games progress. In the meantime, here’s a full schedule complete with times, TV channels and broadcasters:
