While the men’s 2025 NCAA Basketball Tournament began with the First Four on Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday kicks off a string of four of the most exciting days on the sports calendar. The Round of 64 will take place on Thursday and Friday with the winners of those games playing in the Round of 32 on Saturday and Sunday.

One of the most anticipated games of the Round of 64 will take place in the night slate of games when seventh-seeded Kansas and 10th-seeded Arkansas go head-to-head. The winner of that game will likely take on second-seeded St. John’s on Saturday
