The best time of the year is finally here. With the release of the 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket, March Madness has officially begun.
This year, March Madness comes to Indianapolis as the Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set to host a weekend of matchups that will eventually send two teams to the Sweet 16.
No. 2 Marquette kicks off the action on Friday when they take on No. 15 Western Kentucky at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
That game will be immediately followed by No. 7 Florida vs. the winner of the First Four game between No. 10 Boise State and No. 10 Colorado.
