2015 MEN'S NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
March 29, 2015  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 2:00 p.m. ET

 

Yesterday, in the first half of the Elite 8, both No.1 teams in their respective brackets advanced to the Final Four: Wisconsin from the West and the tournament’s overall favorite, Kentucky, from the Midwest. But Kentucky almost lost to Notre Dame Saturday night, winning on a pair of clutch free throws in the final seconds of a thrilling game – and even after that, Notre Dame had a shot at the win with a three-pointer that missed the mark. What a game. Meanwhile, today’s first game will not feature a No. 1 seed as the winner, because in the East, the three top seeds already have been eliminated. That leaves No. 4 Louisville, the highest-ranked East team still standing, facing No. 7 Michigan State, which toppled No. 3 Oklahoma on Friday. That game starts around 2:20 p.m. ET on CBS, followed at about 5 p.m. ET, on the same network, by the South’s No. 1 seed, Duke, facing No. 2 seed Gonzaga.
