N.C.A.A. Men’s Tournament: What to Watch on Friday

The first full day of the N.C.A.A. tournament is in the books, and the madness is in full swing. Now, the action shifts to 16 new highly anticipated matchups.

Eight games will take place across four cities Friday afternoon, beginning with a meeting between No. 10 Loyola Chicago — and 102-year-old Sister Jean Delores Schmidt — and No. 7 Ohio State at 12:15 Eastern in Pittsburgh.

Another eight contests in those four cities — Pittsburgh; Greenville, S.C.; Milwaukee; and San Diego — will be played Friday evening, airing across four television networks: CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV.
