Saturday tournament schedule
- Thread starter bots
- Start date
Since those first 2 games are stand alone games expect them to put a blue blood if available or a tv draw with a storyline. This will 1000% be Michigan St/UNC if that ends being the matchup and then a sexy 3/6 matchup in the other one.
North Carolina is in the Charlotte Thu/Sat pod; Kentucky is in the Pittsburgh Thu/Sat pod. It's impossible to know for certain, but if North Carolina and Kentucky win, their games will be 2 of the 3 first Saturday CBS games. Big national TV audience for a couple blue bloods.
It used to be Court TV. They changed the name quite a while ago. It's on most basic cable/streaming packages.
If they go with Michigan State/UNC in the 11 or 1:30 window then the other game is going to be the Texas/CSU Tenn/St Peter's matchup. With CBS having 4 windows it will be interesting to see where they go with the 4PM and 6:30 PM slots.
Would CBS in those late games value a potential Illinois/BYU shootout and Iowa State playing an instate school or Kentucky and its ratings with a potential Creighton Oregon/South Carolina night cap?
You make a good point. If they go with MSU/UNC, which if Michigan state wins I would put my 401k as being in the stand alone games, they have to have the second stand alone game be from that same site.
Regardless of who we play, we aren’t going to be a “sexy tv draw” but there really aren’t any bad time slots outside of the very last one. Which could potentially be KU/Gonzaga in Salt Lake City.
I hate that they do stand alone games to start and then basically bunch everyone else up plus have a tip at midnight on the east coast. Could very easily have two games going on all day long.
I didn’t see anybody post this, but if you have HBO Max you can stream all the games on their app. They carry tru TV, TNT and TBS it’s all included no extra cost.
This is the one thing the tourney gets wrong every year. Should start at 1 central and a game starting every hour after that. Start an hour earlier on Sunday.
those first 2 CBS games are always at the same location.. so I agree. That won't be the Omaha games.
Yeah sorry, that's what I meant. I would assume that would be the Charlotte games. I'm confident that if we win today, we will play after 5.
Do they at least try to put the Eastern time zone locations in the first slot? It would be kinda ****** to put Spokane at 9:00 AM.
I'd think one of those CBS early games will be UNC. For sure if it's Mich St/UNC
Then youd have potentially Texas/Tennessee if they were both to win.
Spokane doesn't have any games that CBS is going to want in those spots but, technically, there's nothing preventing them from doing it.
These are the only four days of the year where TruTV doesn't play Impractical Jokers the entire day because basketball gets to interrupt it.

(going chalk on who wins, so could be different)

either way, I sitll think UNC gets that 11am spot on CBS
We have Hulu+ and Tru Tv is part of that package. In the past we've had Direct TV and Dish and is has ben part of those packages as well. Also, I believe you can stream it live from their website.
