COLLEGE SPORTS
NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament
The first day of the first round is over. And the March Madness continues today with the second day of the men’s Division I basketball tournament.
While Michigan survived a scare from UC San Diego, there were still two bona fide upsets in McNeese State’s win over Clemson and in Drake’s victory over Missouri.
The schedule resumes today at 12:15 p.m. when Mississippi State and Baylor meet in an 8-9 matchup.
That begins the final 16 NCAA tournament games for first round. The second round begins Saturday with eight games, including Michigan’s game with Texas A&M at 5:15 p.m.
Here is your viewing guide for March Madness today, with Day 2 schedules and scores to complete the first round, plus times and TV channel information. And we still have a few upsets for your bracket.
