It’s that time of year again, ladies and gentlemen. March Madness is here and the 2016 NCAA Tournament field is set.
On Sunday, all 68 teams for this year’s tournament were revealed. Of course, there were a handful of surprises — most notably the shock of Tulsa reaching the tournament — but now the focus shifts towards the play-in games on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Florida Gulf Coast and Fairleigh Dickinson kick things off on Tuesday evening, before Vanderbilt and Wichita State go head-to-head. In the second slate of play-in games, Holy Cross and Southern face off, with Michigan vs. Tulsa finalizing the field of 64.
When and where can you tune in to see your favorite team and/or championship pick’s first game of the 2016 NCAA Tournament? The full schedule can be seen below.
