Here it is, college basketball fan. March Madness is back.
This time it seems all the more precious after COVID-19 was forced to cancel the 2020 NCAA tournament – and made the 2020-21 season uncertain. But we’re finally here, and the payoff is a full slate of games: our first taste of March Madness since 2019.
Friday’s action at 12:15 with 10-seed Virginia Tech taking on 7-seed Florida. The last game, presumably, will be between the 12-seed Winthrop and the 5-seed Villanova. And there is so much basketball to enjoy in between.
Excess: Select March Madness Games
So fill in your brackets, choose your Cinderella players, sit back and relax. There is basketball to watch. Here’s what you need to know about the first action of the NCAA tournament in nearly two years, including time, scores, highlights and more:
