Dunk prepares to host NCAA Tournament

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Ambassadors and volunteers for this week's NCAA Tournament celebrated at a party in downtown Providence Sunday as the brackets were revealed.

The Dunkin' Donuts Center will host first and second round games Thursday and Saturday for the first time in 14 years.

"The renovation of the Dunk was vital to securing the event," Martha Sheridan of the Providence-Warwick Visitors and Convention Bureau said.

The games in Providence Thursday will be Georgetown against Ohio University, Tennessee vs. San Diego State, Richmond vs. St. Mary's College, and Villanova against Robert Morris.
