ESPN2 and ESPNU are running a slew of college basketball games today that will help in determining the mid-major spots for the NCAA Tournament. They’ve been doing the BracketBusters for eight years running. It started last night and is continuing today. Here’s the schedule so you can determine which games you want to watch.
