THIS. IS. MARCH!
Actually, it's April, but March Madness still reigns over spots fans as the Final Four is set to tip of tonight in Indianapolis. In a week that's been filled with bad news concerning Indiana and the NCAA, people will be happy to see some actual sports being played, even if there are the potential for protests outside of Lucas Oil Stadium tonight.
There are a lot of storylines to follow this time around, including the rematch we've all been waiting for as Wisconsin faces Kentucky, and the seventh-seeded Spartans looking to claw their way past the Blue Devils to potentially get that legacy-cementing second championship ring for Tom Izzo.
Things are gonna be a little bit different this year on the television, as each game will be broadcast over three channels for optimal (?) viewing pleasure. Basically, each game will be played on three channels, but each channel will have a different line of announcers that have different focuses. TBS will play Switzerland, while TBS and truTV will stream team-specific broadcasters.
Here's how it all will work:
Time (EDT) | Matchup | Channels and announcing teams |
---|---|---|
6:09 PM | (7) Michigan State Spartans vs. (1) Duke Blue Devils | TBS: Neutral stream (Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery, Tracy Wolfson); TNT: Duke stream (Tom Werme, Alaa Abdelnaby, Chris Spatola); truTV: MSU stream (Brian Anderson, Mateen Cleaves, Shireen Saski) |
8:49 PM | (1) Wisconsin Badgers vs. (1) Kentucky Wildcats | TBS: Neutral stream(Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery, Tracy Wolfson); TNT: UK stream (Dave Baker, Rex Chapman, Michael Eaves); truTV: WISC stream (Wayne Larrivee, Mike Kelley, Phil Dawson) |
Remember, Belters: Have fun, don't be that guy, and drink in the spirit of good sports.
