Table of Contents Table of Contents March Madness 2025: NCAA Tournament Second Round schedule, times Stream March Madness on Sling How to watch March Madness from abroad with a VPN The first round of the NCAA Tournament is in the books. There was some madness. No. 12 McNeese won their first game in NCAA Tournament history when they shocked No. 5 Clemson. No. 12 Colorado State also completed the upset in their victory over No. 5 Memphis. No. 11 Drake looked like they could make a run to the second weekend. Other than those three upsets, the first round went as expected.

Heres the secret to March Madness. If the top seeds advance, the likelihood of having better games in the later rounds is high. Upsets are cool, but the goal is to have the best teams playing on the second weekend. The results on Saturday and Sunday will go a long way in determining if this will be a great or subpar tournament.
