How to see March Madness 2025: TV channels, stream online, which games should see or skip for the NCAA tournament on Saturday

The second round of the men's NCAA tournament begins on Saturday, while the first round of the NCAA tournament of women continues.

The schedule of the second round makes it much more beneficial to freaking between the two tournaments between the two tournaments on Saturday afternoon. Only two of the eight men's games give off before 5 p.m., while 10 of the 16 women's games start in the afternoon.

Must: We have to go with a battle for Hall of Fame coach in Providence as John Calipari's Arkansas and Rick Pitinos St. John's Meet. The national champions have a long history together and have already met four times in the NCAA tournament. They are the only two coaches who brought three different schools to the Final Four.

Must-skip: Players like Paige Bueckers from Uconn and Juju Watkins from USC are certified stars. We are not committed to ignoring them on Saturday. But their teams should have no problems in their games in the first round. You are welcome to surround yourself to more competitive games.

Most likely potential disorders: Will Wades Mcneese Magic continue for another game before going to NC State? The cowboys held 13 points in the first half of their matchup on Thursday. Purdue started a little slowly, but kept the climax in the second half. Purdue is a favorite of 6.5 points.

Player to see: JJ in West Virginia is the mountainers player. The team leads the team with 20.6 points per game and has made 174 more shots than anyone else on the squad. The offensive runs through it and the background colleagues Jordan Harrison and Sydney Shaw. West Virginia has never been in the second round of the NCAA tournament of women. Could this be the year?

Saturday evening

5:15 p.m. – No. 4 Texas A & M against No. 5 Michigan (CBS)

6:10 p.m. – No. 3 Texas Tech against No. 11 Drake (TNT)

9:45 p.m. – No. 1 Texas against No. 16 William & Mary (ESPN2)

10:15 p.m. – No. 3 LSU against No. 14 San Diego State (ESPN)

Must: Houston vs. Gonzaga is a fantastic matchup of styles with tournament precedes on the line. Gonzaga is one of the best offensive teams in the country and also one of the fastest team in men's college basketball. Houston is now one of the toughest teams against which you can score a goal and loves a slower pace. Houston is a seed no. 1 for the third season in a row and tries to go past Sweet 16 after losing in the third round in the last two seasons. Gonzaga has done the Sweet 16 in the last nine NCAA tournaments.

Must-skip: Similar to the afternoon, there is too much good basketball on Saturday evening to worry about Texas. The Longhorns shouldn't have any problems with William & Mary and there will probably be one or two competition games at the same time.

Most likely potential disorders: Gonzaga has a fantastic chance of making a surprise, but we have already talked about the Bulldogs. Auburn cannot afford to play against Alabama State against Alabama State on Saturday against Creighton in the first half. The BlueJays flashed Louisville on Thursday when Auburn fought for a large part of the first half before opening a quick lead of 10 points before half -time.

To see players: LSU striker Aneesah Morrow is a double double machine. She is the team's second leading goal scorer behind Flau'jae Johnson with 18.5 points per game and leads the women -college basketball with 13.6 rebounds per game. It will be a surprise if she has no double double against the Aztecs.
