How to watch the NCAA Tournament
Just like every other sporting event in the time of COVID-19, the NCAA Tournament will look differently this year.
All games will be in Indianapolis or near there and will be played at a slightly different time.
The First Four games are Thursday rather than the typical two nights in Dayton, Ohio, and the first two rounds are Friday through Monday rather than the usual Thursday through Sunday.
But as in other years, it will be quite a TV show, and here’s the lowdown on where to look for the next 12-versus-5 upset.
