March Madness 2025: The Dos and Don’ts for filling out your NCAA Tournament bracket

March Madness is finally here and Mackenzie Salmon has tips to help you fill out your NCAA Tournament bracket.

Every year when March Madness rolls around, college basketball fans spend a lot of time familiarizing themselves with the same few items in the leadup to the first game.

The first item is always the NCAA Tournament bracket in hopes of predicting the first perfect bracket in tournament history — good luck; the odds are practically nil. Then there is perhaps the most time-consuming one: building your TV schedule to make sure you have the perfect quad box to watch all the games at once.

And that means the return to prominence of truTV.

With a tournament that is so spread out across the country — 68 teams at 14 different arenas and stadiums — CBS and Turner Sports need to utilize all possible TV channels in their portfolio, and that includes truTV.

What is truTV? Explaining March Madness TV channel

TruTV is one of several cable television channels owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and carries some of TNT Sports’ coverage of sporting events.

It’s most famously known for carrying the NCAA Tournament as part of CBS and Turner Sports’ coverage of March Madness, plus housing TV shows such as “Impractical Jokers” and “Billy on The Street.”

Traditionally speaking, when it comes to March Madness TV channel assignments, truTV normally carries the two-night First Four doubleheader from UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio. That is the case once again for the 2025 NCAA Tournament, as No. 16 Alabama State-No. 16 Saint Francis and No. 11 North Carolina-No. 11 San Diego State square off on Wednesday, March 18 and No. 16 Mount St. Mary’s-No. 16 American and play No. 11 Texas-No. 11 Xavier on Thursday, March 19.
