TNT Sports and CBS Sports have announced tip times and matchups for Second Round coverage of the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship on Saturday, March 22 (Noon-Midnight ET), with all 67 games available live in their entirety across four national television networks – TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV – and NCAA March Madness Live.

Exclusive live coverage will continue with First Round action on Friday, March 21, beginning at Noon, ET. Games airing on TBS, TNT and truTV will also stream live on Max. Games airing on CBS will also stream live on Paramount+.

The March Madness pick of the day is St. Johns and Arkansas! Hall of Fame coach John Calipari defeated Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks on Thursday, paving the way for a battle with Rick Pitino and the St. John’s Red Storm. Pitino coached St. Johns to a victory on Thursday night. It is their 24th collegiate matchup (30th overall) between each other. Calipari holds a 13-10 record and the duo are tied 3-3 at the NBA level. Over at The Sporting News, Mike DeCourcy has everything you need to know about their head-to-head record–his piece accounts for the Louisville Cardinals vacating the 2012-13 season.
