2023 March Madness live stream: NCAA Tournament TV schedule, watch basketball streaming online Thursday

The 2023 NCAA Tournament bracket games and pools are about to lock, and the time for picks and predictions has nearly come to a close.

But there’s so much more to dig into on a day where you will definitely need lots of screens, so let’s get into the key storylines for Thursday’s first round action.
