Games would have started today.

Let’s look at the schedule.
March Madness would currently be under full swing with this being the first full day of one of the greatest sports days on the calendar. Instead, a lot of us are stuck at home working or if you are working in fields that demand it, stay safe.
We are doing our own mock tournament and there have been others already out there but we are taking a slower approach to provide some build-up and anticipation instead of a big dump.
First up this post is the schedule of games and then over the weekend we will simulate these on WhatIfSports.com and the bracket we are using comes from the composite over at Bracket Matrix.
Now, onto the schedule.
