IMPORTANT DATES FOR D1 MEN'S BASKETBALL MARCH thru JUNE 2024
NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Selection Sunday is this Sunday, 5:00 PM CDT on CBS.
ESPN's Bracketology follows after at 6:00 PM CDT.
NB: Women's Basketball Selection Sunday follows Bracketology on ESPN.
ESPN will be showing all the WBB NCAAT games, starting with the First Four on March 20 (see link for details).
The first week of the Men's tournament will start next Tuesday and last through Sunday Mar 24.The above is a combination of info from my DirecTV Schedule for this weekend and info in the origin post for the
Schedule & Results pinned thread,
about 5 "PG DN" into the OP (the rest of the Men's NCAA T skeletal schedule is included there).
As you will recall, with the pod system the first weekend sites are not region specific.
I'm hoping KANSAS gets put in the South Region, with R1&R2 in Omaha. The Regionals are in Dallas if they get past the first weekend. Fingers crossed.
WHEN & WHERE AND I'LL BE THERE*
• The full TV schedule will be announced after the 68-team fields are revealed on Selection Sunday.
• Every men's March Madness game will be shown either on CBS, TBS, TNT or TruTV and their digital platforms, including Paramount+.
• March Madness Live will once again be streaming all 67 games online.
• TBS will air the Final Four and national title game this year.
• Every game of the women’s tournament will be aired on ESPN's networks and streaming services with some games on ABC. While ESPN is airing the Final Four, the title game will be back on ABC.
See (url= NCAA.org TO BE UPDATED) for info on game dates, times and channels once available.
