2014 NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
March 21, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Various Networks, 12:00 p.m. ET

 

Of the eight games played yesterday in the first full day of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, six of the eight teams to advance were the higher-ranked seeds, but that left room for two early-round upsets in the South bracket: No. 11 seed Dayton beat No. 6 seed Ohio State, and No. 9 seed Pittsburgh dominated No. 8 seed Colorado. Today’s eight games are likely to provide another upset or two, or more. The action begins at 12:15 p.m. ET on CBS, when Duke (seeded No. 3 in the Midwest) faces Mercer (No. 14). At 12:40 p.m. ET on TruTV, Baylor (seeded No. 6 in the West) faces Nebraska (No. 11). At 1:40 p.m. ET on TBS, New Mexico (seeded No. 7 in the South) faces Stanford (No. 10). At 2:10 p.m. ET on TNT, Arizona (seeded No. 1 in the West) faces Weber State (No. 16).  At 2:35 p.m. ET on CBS, Massachusetts (seeded No. 6 in the Midwest) faces Tennessee (No. 11). At 3 p.m. ET on TruTV, Creighton (seeded No. 3 in the West) faces Louisiana (No. 14). At 4:10 p.m. ET on TBS, Kansas (seeded No. 2 in the South) faces Eastern Kentucky (No. 15). At 4:30 p.m. ET on TNT, Gonzaga (seeded No. 8 in the West) faces Oklahoma State (No. 9). At 6:55 p.m. ET on TBS, Memphis (seeded No. 8 in the East) faces George Washington (No. 9). At 7:10 p.m. ET on CBS, Wichita State (seeded No. 1 in the Midwest) faces Cal Poly (No. 16). At 7:20 p.m. ET on TNT, North Carolina (seeded No. 6 in the East) faces Providence (No. 11). At 7:27 p.m. ET on TruTV, VCU (seeded No. 5 in the South) faces S.F. Austin (No. 12). At 9:15 p.m. ET on TBS, Virginia (seeded No. 1 in the East) faces Coastal Carolina (No. 16). At 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS, Kentucky (seeded No. 8 in the Midwest) faces Kansas State (No. 9). At 9:40 p.m. ET on TNT, Iowa State (seeded No. 3 in the East) faces N.C. Central (No. 14). And at 9:47 p.m. ET on TruTV, UCLA (seeded No. 4 in the South) faces Tulsa (No. 13). Whew. That’s the way the balls bounce… all day and all evening, on four different networks.
