NCAA Tournament 2015: Schedule for March Madness 2nd-round games

The NCAA Tournament started on Tuesday, but for most sports fans, the real fun starts on Thursday with the second round. The first game tips off at 12:15 p.m. ET and basketball action goes non-stop until late at night. This goes on for four days, and it’s easily the best weekend of the sports calender.

All eyes are on the Kentucky Wildcats heading into the tournament. The Wildcats enter the tournament at 34-0 and are just six wins away from completing the first undefeated season since Indiana accomplished the feat in 1976. The Wildcats don’t figure to get much of a test in their first game on Thursday when they go up against No. 16 seed Hampton. Hampton won a play-in game on Thursday to advance to the second round.

Are you looking for TV coverage of every game? Good news, CBS and Turner have you covered. Once again, every single tournament game will be carried either on CBS or the Turner family of networks. If you want to watch online, they also have you covered with March Madness On Demand. The one catch is that you’ll need an authorized cable or satellite provider to access the games online, although CBS has its streams available for free in the old over-the-air tradition. Sling TV provides TBS and TNT, so subscribers can watch the games televised on those channels through their account.

Here is the complete schedule for the first two days.
