Complete men's March Madness second round schedule: Game times, dates, how to watch

[ASFN Admin]

The field of the men's NCAA Tournament has been shrunken to 32 teams, and the second round of March Madness will kick off Saturday.

March is all about survive and advance, and some teams did just that to extend their season while others cruised toward dominant victories. But those results mean nothing in the next round, as upsets can still happen in the quest to make the Final Four. All of the No. 1 seeds remain, but will any be handed quick eliminations? Or will any double-digit seed continue their Cinderella run?

Spots in the Sweet 16 and the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament are on the line during the next two days. Here's the complete schedule for the second round of the 2025 men's NCAA Tournament:
