The five round tournament starts March 12 at noon, with the championship game slated for noon on March 16.
Lower seeds will be playing over the next two days leading up to Tennessee, Auburn, Florida and Alabama taking on the winners Friday for the quarterfinals. The semifinals are set for Saturday.
Outside of the arena, fans can head over to Walk of Fame Park for Party in the Park March 14-15. There will be a giant screen to watch the games, food trucks, DJ and live music.

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
