NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Watching Guide – With a few upsets along the way, the 68-team bracket has been established, and it’s time to make your Final Four along with national championship selections. The NCAA men’s collegiate basketball tournament starts Tuesday with the first two play-in games, but the craziness doesn’t really start until Thursday with the initial full day of first-round games. From the First Four games beginning on Tuesday to the Final Four and national championship in April, here is what you need to know to view or stream March Madness.
March Madness’s start date?
After 68 teams are selected for the Massive Dance, the NCAA hosts four play-in events to bring the field down to 64. From there, the math works out that there will be four regional competitions with sixteen teams apiece. All four regional tournament winners then proceed to the Final Four, which takes place this year in San Antonio, Texas, in the Alamodome.
Tuesday starts March Madness by featuring two play-in games and then two more play-in activities the next night. Following these initial four games, the field of 64 is decided, and the tournament officially starts on Thursday with a full calendar of events scheduled all afternoon and into the evening, with at least a few instances of craziness nearly assured.
