This weekend we whittled 64 teams down to 16. Next weekend, we’ll whittle these 16 teams down to four with what should be 12 terrific basketball games.
In this post, we quickly break down the Sweet 16 TV schedule and announcer assignments.
March Madness 2011: TV Schedule, Announcers & Viewing Gameplan for Thursday NCAA Tournament Games
March 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Some people obviously have a problem with the new 68-team format, but a new feature of the 2011 NCAA Tournament that almost most everyone is in favor of is the fact that every single game will be broadcast nationally in its entirety.
Whereas before games were televised only on CBS, thus putting you at the whims of CBS’ decision-making for what game would be shown in your area, now you can choose whatever game you wish with TNT, TBS, and truTV joining CBS for March Madness TV coverage. Thus, no longer must you sit passively waiting for Greg Gumbel to bring you live look-ins or have your laptop open to March Madness On Demand. Any game will be just a click of the remote away.
But, as great as this sounds, there is an unintended consequence: you must now be your own viewing director. No more passive March Madness consumption. Are you ready for the challenge? It may be more of one than you think.
