NCAA March Madness 2015 begins Tuesday, March 17, with two play-in games. Manhattan College and Hampton University compete for the privilege of playing Kentucky while the winner of Ole Miss and BYU will play Xavier. With so many games throughout the day, surviving the NCAA tournament is all about productivity and maximizing your time. Here are some tips to help you master March Madness.

All About That Bracket

If you're filling out a bracket, chances are you're scouring expert picks to help you out or asking friends for advice. Even if you followed college basketball throughout the regular season and can name the starters for Belmont, picking the perfect bracket is near impossible. Jeff Bergen, a mathematician from DePaul University, puts the odds of getting every game right at 1 in 9.2 quintillion. If you're having a hard time choosing teams in the bracket, just flip a coin. That's what Dae Hee Kwak, assistant professor of sports management at the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology, did -- and found great success. "I wanted to see if this outperformed the hard-thought-out selections made by the study participants in our mock tournament. I did three sets of that and my average scores were better than the average of study participants," Kwak said in a statement.

Know The Schedule

Games start as early as 12:15 p.m. EDT and as late as 9:57 p.m. EDT, and there are up to 16 games each day -- that's a lot of basketball to keep track of. Luckily, SpotOn.It has a handy button that lets you add the games you want to watch to your Google, Yahoo, Outlook, iCal and other calendar apps. Whether you want to watch all the games, just your alma mater's, or compelling matchups, it takes just one click to help you get organized.

The Boss Button

One of the best things about March Madness is that every game can be streamed online. That could be dangerous if you're trying to watch a few games while at work, but there's a handy boss button that lets you quickly switch to a fake PowerPoint presentation. The March Madness Live app is available for Windows, Android and Apple devices.
