Essential March Madness Apps For Bracket Ballers

The NCAA tournament tipped off this week in New York! College basketball's round of 64 schools has begun, and eventually the teams will dwindle down to 32, the sweet 16, the elite eight, and the final four. The champion will be decided on April 6, and President Obama has already chosen the Michigan State University Spartans as the tourney's winner against fourth seed Louisville — what have you picked?

It's going to be a whirlwind of a month, so you're going to need all the digital assistance you can get. Here's a definitive guide to the iPhone and Android apps you'll need to download in advance of the March bracket mania.
