One of the greatest tournaments in sports is about to get underway.
The NCAA Tournament technically started Tuesday and will continue Wednesday with the newly named play-in games, but the Big Dance doesn’t start in earnest until Thursday afternoon when 64 teams battle for the top prize in college basketball.
Whether you have any rooting interests or haven’t been following the sport too closely all season, the tournament — especially the first and second rounds — provides some of the best play on the sports calendar every year.
With less than 24 hours to go before the dancing begins, NESN.com’s Mike Cole and Ricky Doyle broke down the field and gave their picks — and bracket-filling advice — in a Facebook Live video chat Wednesday. See that video in its entirety below.
