Today, we finish whittling down the men's field to get to the sweet sixteen, while the women's field is trimmed to 32. The NIT will only have 12 teams remaining by this evening as well. There's also a handful of WNIT games and a single WBI contest on the schedule. It's an off-day for NAIA Division I, which will finally appear on our schedule tomorrow as the semifinals commence, and later in the week the NCAA Division II Elite Eights commence. But that's later; here's your open thread for today's action and your television guide for today:
