The stage is set. After yesterday's action, 48 teams remain after one day of the first round of games for the NCAA Tournament. Thirty-two of them will take the court on Friday, for the second full day of March Madness. Your bracket may already be ruined, but don't worry, the Buckeyes will keep things interesting for you on Sunday -- when they play in the second round of the NIT at home at 12 p.m. against the Florida Gators.
Our final No. 1 seed will see game action on Friday, so you won't want to miss a thing!
How to Watch
Every NCAA Tournament game is available on CBS and CBS' March Madness app. But, that's not all.
SBNation.com breaks down all the different ways to stream the games (especially for those pretending to work during games) below:
All NCAA Tournament games can be streamed online with NCAA March Madness Live. There's also an NCAA March Madness Live app for iOS, Android, Windows 10, Amazon, and Roku, so you can watch every game, even if you're not at home or near a TV. March Madness Live has also added Chromecast support this year, so there are more ways than ever to get the game onto the TV.
So many options.
The NCAA has provided a full breakdown of all Thursday's games, along with tip-off times, location and how to catch it on TV. Check it out, here.
And just in case, CBS also has a complete live schedule of all games and which TV network they'll be aired. You can see that, here.

Does LGHL have a bracket challenge?
Sure do! Hope you already signed up to take part in the annual Land-Grant Holy Land March Madness bracket, with the window having closed. If you're participating, you should be able to see how you're doing against our staff and your fellow readers.
Start your weekend off right, with back-to-back and overlapping basketball games -- even consider sneaking out of the office and grabbing an adult beverage or three. You have two more days before the Buckeyes will attempt to give you another heart attack in the NIT, and might as well spend that time rooting for and against other teams.
