NCAA Tournament 2015 TV schedule: Tournament gets busy Thursday

Find a comfortable seat and settle in. Here’s how you can catch all of Thursday’s games.

SB Nation 2015 March Madness Bracket

It may officially be known as the second round now, but the first big day of the NCAA Tournament gets underway on Thursday. The First Four winners were sorted out on Tuesday and Wednesday night, and now it's time to enjoy maybe the busiest sports day of the year.

The big story of the tournament will be No. 1 Kentucky, and whether it can finish the season undefeated. The Wildcats shouldn’t have much trouble with No. 16 Hampton (which entered the postseason with a losing record), but they will surely keep an eye on their next opponent, which will be either Cincinnati or Purdue. John Calipari’s squad will be under more pressure than ever.

The games will be available on the channels listed, as well as on the March Madness Live app, which is available for iOS, Android, and Windows devices. If you can’t watch, find your local radio station playing the games here.

Here’s the NCAA Tournament schedule for Wednesday. Times for later games will vary depending on when the earlier games finish. All times listed are Eastern Time.
