With Thursday’s 16 second round games in the books, we can began to look ahead to the third round of the 2011 NCAA Bracket, and perhaps more importantly, the complete television schedule and channel lineup.
NCAA Tournament Schedule 2011: Complete Times And TV Info For Saturday’s Third Round Games
As will be the case throughout the NCAA Tournament, every game will be aired live and in its entirety on one of the four March Madness networks: CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV. And of course, the NCAA’s March Madness On Demand site will be live-streaming all the games online (and on your iPad and iPhone ... being alive in 2011 is pretty great).
Saturday’s games start at 12:15 p.m. EDT, just like Thursday and Friday, but with just eight games, the schedule is a bit more spread out. No. 4 Kentucky and No. 5 West Virginia get things started in the East Region, playing for a spot in the Sweet 16.
The times for Sunday’s third-round games will be announced Friday night, after the conclusion of the day’s games.
