The opening round of March Madness is finally here. Will it be full of blowouts or bracket busters? Stay tuned.
Friday, the first day of the first round, will feature games with No. 1 seeds South Carolina and Texas. While those are unlikely to result in upsets, there’s plenty more to keep an eye on. It wouldn’t be March without a little drama, after all.

It’s a full day of basketball. What could be better? North Carolina and Michigan State kick things off at 11:30 a.m. ET, and Nebraska and Texas A&M wrap it up with a 10:30 p.m. ET tipoff.
Even if your team isn’t playing on Friday, there’s a handful of star players to watch, such as Ohio State’s Jacy Sheldon, Texas’s Madison Booker, Stanford’s Cameron Brink, and, of course, LSU’s Angel Reese.
Let’s dance.
