A full day of men’s basketball action PLUS the second day of First Four action in the women’s game!
ARE YOU READY?!
Today is the first full day of action in the 2025 NCAA men’s basketball tournament! Wall-to-wall win-or-go-home basketball for 12 straight hours, with the added bonus of two First Four games in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament before they get their full field of action started tomorrow.
Half of the Big East is in action today, and in fact, there’s a chance that a Big East squad could be the first team to advance…. or to get sent home, as Creighton plays Louisville in the very first game of the day. You’ll have to wait all the way until the third-to-last game of the day for the other Big East squad, as St. John’s tangles with Noted Trash Can Aficionados Omaha starting at approximately 8:45pm Central time.
Something special is bound to happen at some point in the slate of 18 NCAA tournament games today, so keep your eyes and ears open for the magic.
