Here it is, college basketball fans. March Madness is back.
It seems all the more precious this time around after COVID-19 forced the 2020 NCAA Tournament to be canceled — and made the 2020-21 season precarious, at best. But we’re finally here, and the payoff is a full slate of games: our first taste of March Madness since 2019.
Saturday’s action tips off at 12:15 p.m. ET with 10-seed Virginia Tech taking on 7-seed Florida. The last game, likely, will be between 12-seed Winthrop and 5-seed Villanova. And there’s so much basketball to be enjoyed in between.
