March Madness rolls on as we get into the second-round matchups of the 2017 NCAA tournament.

There was some consternation about the banal nature of this tournament compared to previous years, but here’s hoping the second round will make up for the lack of intrigue in the first round. Usually when this happens, the cream rises to the top and we get competitive games the rest of the way.

The No. 1 Villanova Wildcats looked relatively sluggish in the beginning of their title defense, and things won’t be easier as they take on an underseeded Wisconsin Badgers team.

CBS will broadcast four of the Saturday games, while TBS and TNT get two each throughout the day.
