MILWAUKEE -- It's the big day college basketball fans nationwide have been waiting for--the first full day of the NCAA Tournament.

Locally, crews have worked tirelessly preparing the BMO Harris Bradley Center for the four games being played in town Thursday.

The Wisconsin Badgers take on the American University Eagles, and if Wisconsin advances, the team will take on the winner of the Oregon vs. BYU game on Saturday.

Thursday night in Buffalo, the UWM Panthers will take on Villanova. If the Panthers pull the upset, they'll face the winner of the Connecticut vs. St. Joseph's game on Saturday.
