The NCAA Men’s Tournament is officially on and the Big Women’s Dance begins tonight. So finalize those brackets and prepare to tear them up when two of your Final Four teams lose on the first weekend.
Also on the schedule in the sports world tonight are clashes between Kevin Durant and Luka Donćič, as well as a Bay Area showdown between Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum.

Men’s college basketball: No. 11 Notre Dame vs. No. 11 Rutgers
After sweating the bubble on draft Sunday, these two clubs snuck into the big dance and will now face off for the chance to play Alabama in the first round of the tournament on Friday. The Scarlet Knights were dangerously close to the cut line despite finishing fourth in a busy Big Ten conference due to a poor run in non-conference play, but could now be a loud team thanks to veteran guards Ron Harper Jr., Paul Mulcahy and Geo Baker. Meanwhile, Notre Dame has plenty of experience to complement star rookie Blake Wesley, who helped the Irish make their first NCAA Men’s Tournament appearance since 2017.

HIDDEN GEM
Boston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors
It hasn’t been quite smooth sailing for the Warriors lately, although Golden State picked up a huge victory late last week over the Nuggets which SI’s Chris Mannix says could be the start of a new game. a turnaround. Bringing Draymond Green back into the roster will definitely help the Dubs, especially as they approach the playoffs. Today’s game should be a good test against a Celtics side that played great ball last month and are making inroads in the Eastern Conference.
