Your 2023 NCAA Tournament Viewing Guide/Open Thread: March 18

Mar 18, 2023 - 1:00 PM

Who’s ready for an exciting day of college basketball??

Now that Marquette has won a game and taken that load off of our minds, we can just sit back and enjoy the buffet of hoops action available to us on Saturday. It’s the Round of 32 for the men’s tournament, so there’s eight games to set half of the Sweet 16. In the women’s bracket, we’re getting the second day of the Round of 64. That’s the part of the day that has Big East tie-ins as every men’s team played yesterday and the four winners won’t be back in action until Sunday. UConn, Villanova, and St. John’s are on in an overlapping pattern from 2pm Central through 6pm Central, so make good use of your time today.

All times Central.
