Basketball: March Madness tips off this morning in Ohio
In basketball,
This year's NCAA College Basketball tournament, better known as 'March madness' is getting underway this morning.
This morning's 2 games have the bottom-ranked teams in the East, 16th seeds Mount St. Mary's and New Orleans battling it out for the chance to move on to face the top-ranked team in the tournament, and defending champions, Villanova in round-2.
The later game this morning has 11th seeds in the Southern bracket, Kansas State and Wake Forest in a match-up to see who will move on to play Cincinatti in the next round.
