March Madness Open Thread: Thursday 3/17 Game Times & TV Listings

Well it's that time of year again where everyone becomes a college basketball fan because it's tacitly acceptable to avoid working at all costs if you are keeping up with March Madness. You're fostering team-building by monitoring everyone's progress in the office bracket pool. Yes, that's what it is.

Here are the first sixteen games, starting in just over an hour. The Ags don't play until tomorrow so this will all be relatively stress-free. Unless you really screwed up on your bracket.
