As expected, the games we didn’t know about are the cupcake ones. Bummer that UNC isn’t the official opener, though.

No game on Thanksgiving this year! Duke in Vegas two days before and Furman at home two days after. That seems much better than the traditional holiday tournament schedule. Though it will be weird not seeing them play in one.

Possibly the biggest coaching mismatch in the history of sports. x.com/MarchMadnessMB…

😂 🤣 😭

i’m sorry, JEFF GOODMAN is saying this?

All it took for Duke to schedule a quality noncon set was Coach K dying.

How in the world do we not have two Cal vs. UK games this year? You had ONE JOB schedule makers!

You pretty much knew playing against Michigan State would mean an early tip-off. The Spartans are the JV team in this event. Every year the plan is to get their loss over with so the other game with two true bluebloods can take center stage.

Don’t forget about Duke opening up with Maine and Army that same week! Big-time!

That Wednesday-Saturday will be littered with Feast Week games. Standalone time on Tuesday night.

If Zeke Mayo doesn't start, we riot.

I'm not trying to be dramatic, but we should consider bringing the death penalty back for whoever made this list.
