Day 2 watchability rankings for the 2023 NCAA Tournament

Which games are “can’t-miss” on Friday? Here’s the watchability guide for day two.

Day two of the Round of 64 NCAA Tournament play is here, and thankfully the slate appears to be better than Thursdays. Almost all of those 1-vs.-16 matchups that we all love are out of the way, with only Purdue’s matchup still left to go.

Looking at the second slate of games, a few more compelling contests are on the horizon. You don’t have to convince yourself of a potential upset quite as much, as the Friday games already feature teams on upset watch, or have some closer-seeded teams going head-to-head.

Of course, though, not every game is built equally though. Just like that aforementioned Purdue clash, there are a few games coming up on Friday that won’t be commanding respect on your TV, at least not compared to some others. As a guide to you, the viewer, for the best use of your TV screen, here is every Friday game ranked in order of watchability.
