Men's NCAA tournament: Live updates, analysis as March Madness begins
Written by I Dig SportsThe First Four gave us some quality appetizers -- aside from Virginia's performance, which was more like expired dairy -- but the 2024 NCAA tournament truly gets underway on Thursday, with 16 first-round games over the course of 12-plus hours.
Two of the most popular upset picks are in action in the late window, with 5-seed Gonzaga taking on 12-seed McNeese at 7:25 p.m. ET and No. 4 Kansas battling No. 13 Samford at 9:55 p.m. Can coach Will Wade continue his outstanding first season with the Cowboys by pulling off a win over the Zags, and how will Samford and "Bucky Ball" fare against a banged-up Jayhawks team?
In reality, we're watching it all anyway. All day.Check back here throughout the day as ESPN keeps you up to date and in the know with reports from arenas all over the country.
