2017 NCAA Basketball Tournament First Round Day 1: How To Watch, TV, Time, and Streaming

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

16 games today, 16 games tomorrow, 12 straight hours of high intensity hoops on both days. What’s not to like??

As Marquette fans, we can sit back and enjoy today a bit, since the Golden Eagles don’t play until tomorrow. We do have three Big East teams - Butler, Xavier, and Villanova - going today, and after Providence’s loss in the First Four on Wednesday night, the league needs to stack up wins and more importantly tournament shares.

There’s also the Wisconsin/Virginia Tech game in the late window. I can’t make you cheer for the Hokies, but I can definitely tell you that there is no chance in hell that I’m cheering for the Badgers, much less actually picking them to win.

All games are available for streaming via March Madness Live.
