Welcome to Saturday of the first weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament!
I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that because this is the Round of 32 for the men’s basketball tournament, there is only one game on at a time between 11am and 5:10pm when TNT gets Houston/Texas A&M on the board right about at halftime of Duke/TCU after a doubleheader from Buffalo to start the day.
The good news is that the women’s basketball tournament is on Day 2 of the Round of 64, which means that they have 16 games going on today, and by the time Michigan/Saint Louis gets started on CBS, there’s already going to be two women’s games in progress over on ESPN and ESPN2. So if those men’s games get a little out of control — and there’s always a chance that they could, just pop over to one of the 12 women’s games that start before we get two men’s games on the air at the same time.
From a Big East point of view, there’s only one game of interest today, seeing as all three men’s teams and the Villanova women played yesterday. That one game is #1 UConn in action, and, uh, well, how do I put this? Watching Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd dismantle #16 UTSA is a certain kind of fun, I suppose. BartTorvik.com says Huskies by 42, so take that into account when planning out your day.
There’s also two Marquette lacrosse games over on ESPN+, or if you want to get out of the house for a stretch, you could always swing by the Valley to check out the women’s lacrosse team hosting Georgetown in the Big East opener for both squads.
The comment section remains yours for whatever conversation is required for the day!
