The NCAA Tournament opens Thursday with TCU meeting Ohio State at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Tipoff is set for 12:15 p.m. ET on CBS, and it is one of those classic 8-9 games that looks tight on paper and probably feels even tighter once the ball goes up.

South Florida, the 11 seed out of the American, meets Louisville at KeyBank Center with tipoff set for 1:30 PM ET on TNT.
