Sixteen more games are on the 2024 NCAA Tournament schedule for Saturday, Mar. 23, beginning with No. 11-seed Green Bay vs. No. 6-seed Tennessee at 12 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Here are three games to keep a closer eye on:
Do we get an expected upset?
The No. 5-seed vs. No. 12-seed game is a popular upset to predict every year. It usually pairs a mediocre team from a Power Five conference against a talented team from a mid-major; this combo can lead to an upset.
This year that gives us No. 12-seed Florida Gulf Coast against No. 5-seed Oklahoma at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN News. As the numbers and standings indicate, I’m still siding with the Sooners, but eyebrows will be raised, and I’m curious to see if the upset materializes.
It’s JuJu Watkins time
It should be light work for freshman phenom JuJu Watkins and No. 1-seed USC, playing what is essentially a home game, against No. 16-seed Texas A&M-CC on ESPN at 4:30 p.m. ET. But, I’ve said every Trojan game is must-see television, and this game falls into that category.
I asked Cheryl Miller if there’s anything she wishes she had known during her freshman year at USC that she’d like to now share with JuJu Watkins.
What followed was a really great moment between the two.
My full interview with Cheryl & JuJu is out now:
