After a year off, March Madness is officially back. With that, it’s time to fill in your bracket.
This season’s once-in-a-lifetime tournament, held in a controlled environment in Indianapolis, will officially tip off on Thursday, March 18 with the “First Four” on TruTV and TBS. Those games will be played at Mackey Arena and Assembly Hall. The First Round then tips off on Friday, a day later than usual due to COVID-19 protocols for teams arriving in the controlled environment.
Participating teams have to test negative for COVID-19 seven consecutive times before entering Indianapolis. Teams will then stay in Indianapolis under strict protocols until they are eliminated, including daily testing.
