March Madness schedule today: Times, TV channels, scores for Sunday’s Round 2 NCAA Tournament games
The final eight puzzle pieces of the Sweet 16 will come together on Sunday as the second round of the NCAA tournament continues.
There are some fascinating encounters planned, but this is March. Anything can happen and every game counts. Almost 12 hours of basketball guarantee wild moments when the field of 68 shrinks from 24 teams to 16.
The Big East will be well represented, with UConn, Marquette and Xavier all in action. The most intriguing matchup of Sunday’s list might be the Huskies’ strong offense against tight Saint Mary’s defense.
