March Madness 2009 - NCAA Tournament TV Schedule, Announcers, Spreads, DatesThis past weekend, I posted four individual posts that break down each of the four brackets that comprise the 2009 NCAA Tournament. Look over to the right in the sidebar and you will find links to each one, plus links to all of the NCAA Tournament history posts that we have done for the men and women.

Each region breakdown filled in with as much information as is available. The tables you see in this post are the same ones in those posts, so the updates will occur simultaneously. I will input information as soon as it is available for as soon as I find it. So if something is missing, but you know where the info is — please leave a comment. I’ll appreciate it.

Below, you will find tables for each of the four regional brackets plus the Final Four. Each table lists the matchup, the start time, the date, the announcers, and the point spread for each of the 64 games that will take place over the next three weeks. Just bookmark the post and come back to it anytime you want/need information.

    i am currently watching the SEC championship, msu vs tenn. and the announcers have been very partial to Tenn. i am upset reguading this issue, state is a force to be reckoned with. during an event like this, being partial as an announcer is unacceptable.

  • Robbie

    Do you know when the game times will be announced??

  • http://www.midwestsportsfans.com JRod

    @Robbie, good question. I just checked ESPN.com and they did not have them. I’ll keep checking and update as soon as they are up. I think it usually the next day, but I’m not 100% sure.

    CBS usually announces the times and talent assignments late tonight or tomorrow.

    Your readers might be interested in the sortable schedule database we have published for the 2nd year.

    Cheers!
