March Madness schedule, scores today: Times, TV channel info for Round 1/2 NCAA tournament games

[ASFN Admin]

The first day of the first round is over. And the March Madness continues today with the second day of the men's Division I basketball tournament.

While Michigan survived a scare from UC San Diego, but there were still two bona fide upsets in McNeese State's win over Clemson and in Drake's victory over Missouri.

The schedule resumes today at 12:15 p.m. when Mississippi State and Baylor meet in an 8-9 matchup.

That begins a schedule of final 16 NCAA tournament games for first round. The second round begins Saturday with eight games, including Michigan's game with Texas A&M at 5:15 p.m.

Here is your viewing guide for March Madness today, with Day 2 schedules and scores to complete the first round, plus times and TV channel information. And we still have a few upsets for your bracket.
