You may not care about this section of college athletics during the entire season, but that doesn’t matter. Because now is when everything counts. Still, you need to be informed as the tournament progresses, and the best place for that is Twitter.

The live aspect of Twitter is what makes it so great. You get to see reaction in real-time as well as getting all of the information you could ever dream about.
So, without further ado, here are the 50 Twitter accounts you should follow throughout March Madness. To make things easier, we’ve compiled the list on Twitter where you can subscribe without having to actually follow every account.
Tweets from https://twitter.com/JordanHeckFF/lists/2016-march-madness
Here are the accounts broken down into categories:
Writers/Analysts
@Sam_Vecenie , @kenpomeroy , @JeffEisenberg , @ESPNLunardi , @ESPNAndyKatz , @JonRothstein , @DickieV , @RealJayWilliams , @BrianHamiltonSI , @ryanfagan , @MarkEnnis , @DanWetzel , @GaryParrishCBS , @DraftExpress , @JayBilas , @SethDavisHoops , @tsnmike , @GottliebShow , @EvanDaniels , @lukewinn , @MattNorlander , @NicoleAuerbach , @RobDauster , @GoodmanESPN , @clubtrillion @CJMooreBR .
These people make up the majority of the list, and understandably so. The people I included range from columnists, analytical writers and very knowledgeable college basketball minds. Their job titles may be similar, but they all offer different ways of conveying information throughout this tournament.
Highlights
@SBNationGIF , @gifdsports , @MarcusD , @TheCauldron .
These accounts are the best at what they do: getting sports highlights up as soon as possible.
There are countless highlights from the many games in this tournament, and you don’t want to miss a minute of the action. Even if you do watch it live, you want to see it again as many times as possible in a Vine. There may be some overlap with these accounts, but these should be all you need.
Media
@FiveThirtyEight , @MarchMadnessTV , @sn_ncaab, @BPredict , @CBSSportsCBB , @marchmadness , @SiriusXMCollege , @ESPNStatsInfo , @si_ncaabb , @rushthecourt , @ESPNCBB .
These accounts aren’t actual writers, but rather the companies they work for. Accounts like @FiveThirtyEight and @ESPNStatsInfo will be great to get historical information about the numbers behind the tourney. @MarchMadness is the official account of the tournament and should be able to provide you with all of the important info you need.

@mid_madness (mid-majors), @becb_sbn (Big East), @BTNBrentYarina (Big Ten), @DougHaller (Pac-12), @bretstrelow (ACC), @Jake_Trotter (Big 12), @MountainWest , @SEC , @atlantic10.
