The NCAA Tournament continues on Friday with the second day of March Madness. The Sixers could have a top-six and will have a premium second-rounder in the upcoming draft. What potential selections are you hoping to take a look at today?
March Madness has officially begun and that means a truly full slate of basketball every day this weekend.
Sixers fans can take a little break from the slog of the end of a tough NBA season to enjoy some college hoops and scout out some potential 2025 NBA Draft picks. The Sixers are currently battling to hold on to their first round pick (protected for picks 1 through 6) while also owning what will be a high second-round pick, so there are a ton of possible player options to look out for.
Harrison Grimm recently highlighted a few of the lottery picks that could be available while Greg Frank took a look at some intriguing guys that could be available in the second round. SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell does an excellent job every year with his mock drafts and NBA Draft coverage.
Today’s packed slate of 16 games tips off at 12:15 p.m. ET in the East Region with No. 8 Mississippi State taking on No. 9 Baylor.
Expected first-overall pick Cooper Flagg will return to the floor for Duke later today having missed their last two (and a half) games after suffering a sprained ankle in their first ACC Tournament contest. Flagg exited that game in the first half and missed both the tourney semifinal and final, but he’s available Friday as No. 1 East Region seed Duke will take on No. 16 Mount St. Mary’s at 2:50 p.m. ET.
