2014 NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
March 20, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Various Networks, 12:00 p.m. ET

 

The NCAA tournament kicks off in earnest today – and things will never be busier, or more complicated, than they are today and tomorrow. You have to move as much, and as quickly, as a point guard to catch all the action, but here goes a first-day bracket rundown: The action begins art noon ET on CBS, when Ohio State (seeded #6 in the South) faces Dayton (#11). At 12:30 p.m. ET on TruTV, Wisconsin (#2 in the West) faces American (#15). At 1:30 p.m. ET on TBS, Colorado (#8 in the South) faces Pittsburgh (#9). At 2 p.m. ET on TBS, Cincinnati (seeded #5 in the East) faces Harvard (#12). At 2:30 p.m. ET on CBS, Syracuse (seeded #3 in the South) faces W. Michigan (#14). At 3 p.m. ET on TruTV, Oregon (seeded #7 in the West) faces BYU (#10). At 4 p.m. ET on TBS, Florida (seeded #1 in the South) faces Albany, which just squeezed into the #16 spot. At 4:30 p.m. ET on TNT, Michigan State (#4 in the East) faces Delaware (#13). At 6:45 p.m. ET on TBS, Connecticut (#7 in the East) faces Saint Joseph’s (#10). At 7 p.m. ET on CBS, Michigan (#2 in the Midwest) faces Wofford (#15). At 7:15 p.m. ET on TNT, Saint Louis (#5 in the Midwest) faces N.C. State (#12), while, at 7:25 p.m. ET on TruTV, Oklahoma (#5 in the West) faces N.D. State (#12). At 9 p.m. ET on TBS, Villanova (#2 in the East) faces Wisconsin-Mikwaukee (15). At 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS, Texas (#7 in the Midwest) faces Arizona State (#10). At 9:40 p.m. ET on TNT, Louisville (#4 in the Midwest) faces Manhattan (#13). And finally, at 9:45 p.m. ET, TruTV presents game number 16 of the day: San Diego State (#4 in the West) vs. N.M. State (#13). Good luck watching it all. I’m tired just compiling the list.
