The NCAA Tournament kicked off last night and today at noon the Commonwealth’s own version of March Madness, the Sweet 16, begins at Rupp Arena.
Sixteen teams from all over the state will battle it out to determine the very best schoolboy team of 2016.
Below is a preview of all of today’s opening games.
