TV time plan for NCAA tournament: Which channel is Trutv? Where else can you see March Madness?

March Madness has finally started. The field of 68 was determined by the selection committee on Sunday, and while some of its decisions redeemed controversy, the show must continue.

After the first four on Tuesday and Wednesday, the brackets were hit on 64 teams with Alabama State, North Carolina, Mount St. Mary’s and Xavier.

The opening day of the first round was full of upset, including McNeese No. 12, the No. 5 Clemson. No. 11 Drake also took Missouri with the sixth seed. Day 2 followed with another big surprise when No. 12 Colorado State No. 5 Memphis beat.
