Today's the day the NCAA tournament really gets underway. They're calling this the "second round", but now with the play-in games done, what we used to call the "first round" begins today, with 16 games -- and you can watch them all, on four different networks. Your remote will get quite a bit of exercise today, especially if you also want to watch the Bulls or Blackhawks tonight.
