The NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship is underway with four squads already eliminated. Now, March Madness shifts into high gear with First & Second Round games through Sunday. By the time we go to sleep Sunday night, the original 68-team field will have been reduced to the Sweet 16. WJPA-AM (1450) is your home for all the exciting moments of March Madness with live coverage from every site, every game through opening weekend. Each day’s coverage will center around Westwood One’s feature games (highlighted) but will include live “look-ins” and updates of all games. Then we’ll have Sweet 16, Elite 8, the Final Four and the National Championship games. And, once again this year, we’ll bring you extensive coverage of the Women’s Tournament starting with the Sweet 16 next weekend.
