It's time to feel some March Madness, Milwaukee!
Sunday afternoon was Selection Sunday, where the top 68 college basketball teams in the country awaited their fate, finding out their first-round opponents in the tournament, as well as their game location.
This year, Marquette University is one of the host schools for the first and second round of the NCAA tournament, with games tipping off on Friday afternoon from Fiserv Forum. Now we know which schools will be hitting the hardwood and booking some quick trips to Milwaukee (Well, most of them; the winners of two first-four games earlier in the week in Dayton will also head to Milwaukee)
Tickets are available via Ticketmaster
Betting odds are also currently available here via Potawatomi Sportsbook (note: per Wisconsin regulations, you cannot bet on Wisconsin college teams at Potawatomi Sportsbook.)
