CBS and Turner have announced the entire schedule of games, times, and announcers for the 1st and 2nd Rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The 1st Round takes place in Dayton on Tuesday and Wednesday on truTV as per the tradition of the last few years. Every year the announcers for the First Four seem to rotate. This time around, Brian Anderson and Dan Bonner will call Tuesday’s games while Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller, and Len Elmore get the Wednesday assignments.
Below is a complete guide to all the action from Tuesday-Friday for the play-in games and the Round of 64. (If the NCAA would just label the first and second round as normal then we wouldn’t run into all of these vocabulary issues this time of year, but I digress.) You can view the cities and pods where all 8 of the CBS/Turner teams are assigned, and then the entire schedule of games for the 1st and 2nd Rounds. All times are Eastern.
