Here’s The Schedule For Today’s 16 NCAA Tournament Games

Get your brackets in. The NCAA Tournament is finally here, after a long, long year without it.

Last night, we got a nice taste of Tournament action with the First Four games. All four games were single-digit affairs. Drake-Wichita State and Norfolk State-Appalachian State were each decided by single possessions, while UCLA mounted a big comeback to beat Michigan State in overtime.

Those teams will be back in action on Saturday. The NCAA Tournament is pushed back a day from the normal schedule, where Thursday is usually the first Round of 64 day. That is now today, with action running from just after noon until around midnight.

We have 16 games today, all being played around Indianapolis and a few other sites in Indiana. Action tips off at 12:15 with an intriguing 7-10 matchup at Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse in the South Region.
