2016 NCAA Tournament: March Madness Day 2 Times, TV and What to Watch

Day 1 is in the books and 75% of our weekend is still ahead of us.  Some very nice upsets yesterday. In my upset preview I did call out Yale as a possibility but I didn't quite go as far as to "call" it.  I did nail my guaranteed upset with the Shockers and said that Little Rock concerned me, just figured Purdue would pull it out because of this...

Anyway, here is your Friday slate...

Game of the Day - Michigan vs. Notre Dame, a couple of good offenses that make a lot of threes.  Should be an entertaining game.

Upset Watch - I believe in a couple of really low seeds who are capable of a big upset today.  Stephen F. Austin is legit, too bad so is West Virginia.  And of all the 15-seeds I believe that Bakersfield is capable of knocking off Oklahoma.  But the upset of the day will be Hawaii overcoming Cal.

Minnesota Connections: Today' Minnesota local to watch is J.P. Macura of Xavier.  Lakeville native who chose the Muskateers over the Gophers.  Sure could have used his shooting this year.

(this is text from yesterday's thread)

It's finally here guys!!! The best four days of the year tips off today.  Below are the game times and TV and even who you'll get to hear bringing you the games.  But first, here are some things to look for.

Duke vs. UNC-Wilmington Seahawks is the first game of the day and it should only get better from there.  Some things to look for by yours truly..

Game of the Day - Arizona vs. Wichita State, this is going to be a good one and probably an upset.

Upset Watch - Iowa State vs. Iona, keep an eye on A.J. English and the rest of the Gaels lineup.  They'll bomb threes all day and if they are hitting, say adios to the Cyclones.

Minnesota Connections: Cullen Russo plays for Fresno State who plays a dramatically over-seeded Utah Utes club.  Could be interesting.

Thursday March 17: Round of 64 Games

Enjoy your Thursday of hoops
