March Madness is upon us and there are 28 Canadians taking part in this year's tournament. Six made it through the first weekend.

Here's when and where you can watch the Canadian players in action on Friday, March 27.

FRIDAY, MARCH 27

SOUTH: No. 2 Gonzaga vs. No. 11 UCLA – 7:15 p.m. ET in Houston, TX

Another strong showing from Kyle Wiltjer (Portland, OR) and Kevin Pangos (Holland Landing, ON) has Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2009 after they beat Iowa 87-68 last Sunday. Wiltjer poured in a game-high 24 points for the Bulldogs while Pangos added 16.

Now Wiltjer, Pangos, and Dustin Triano (Vancouver, BC) are a win away from the Elite Eight, and they're Friday night's biggest favourite (-8.5) against UCLA.

SOUTH: No. 1 Duke vs. No. 5 Utah – 9:45 p.m. ET in Houston, TX

Dallin Bachynski (Calgary, AB) played a big part in Utah’s 75-64 win over Georgetown last Saturday, scoring nine points and grabbing eight boards in 22 minutes.

Duke’s big men, led by talented freshman Jahlil Okafor, are looking to be the more dominant team in the paint and Bachynski will be one of the Utes tasked with making it difficult for them inside.

EAST: No. 3 Oklahoma vs. No. 7 Michigan State – 10:07 p.m. ET in Syracuse, NY

Oklahoma outlasted Dayton 72-66 in the round of 32 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. The Spartans may be a No. 7 seed, but they're coming off an impressive win over Virginia and are many pundits' pick to move on. Dinjiyl Walker (Thornhill, ON) has played a couple minutes in the Sooners' first two tournament victories.
