NCAA Tournament TV schedule 2013: Harvard, Cal, Oregon go for more upsets

The Round of 32 tips off Saturday afternoon as three double-digit seeds look to book their tickets to the Sweet 16.

USA TODAY Sports

The first games of the Round of 32 of the 2013 NCAA Tournament start in earnest at 12:15 p.m. ET Saturday, as several teams try to make history in an already insane weekend.

No. 14 Harvard, fresh off beating Final Four contender New Mexico for its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory, will take on No. 6 Arizona at 6:10 p.m. ET in Salt Lake City. The Crimson have a chance to make the Sweet 16, which would tie them for the lowest seed to ever qualify for the Sweet 16.

Another game that will likely be highly interesting will be the match-up between fifth-seeded VCU and fourth-seeded Michigan, which will likely feel like a home game for the Wolverines at the Palace of Auburn Hills outside of Detroit. VCU will, of course, employ its patented Havoc defense, pressuring the ball and forcing more turnovers than just about anyone else in the country. How that works against the nation's best point guard, Michigan sophomore Trey Burke, will determine the game's outcome.

12:15 p.m. ET, CBS: No. 5 Va. Commonwealth Rams vs. No. 4 Michigan Wolverines, South Region, Auburn Hills, Mich.

2:45 p.m. ET, CBS: No. 6 Memphis Tigers vs. No. 3 Michigan St. Spartans, Midwest Region, Auburn Hills, Mich.

5:15 p.m. ET, CBS: No. 8 Colorado St. Rams vs. No. 1 Louisville Cardinals, Midwest Region, Lexington, Ky.

6:10 p.m. ET, TNT: No. 14 Harvard Crimson vs. No. 6 Arizona Wildcats, West Region, Salt Lake City, Utah

7:10 p.m. ET, TBS: No. 12 Oregon Ducks vs. No. 4 Saint Louis Billikens, Midwest Region, San Jose, Calif.

7:45 p.m. ET, CBS: No. 6 Butler Bulldogs vs. No. 3 Marquette Golden Eagles, East Region, Lexington, Ky.

8:40 p.m. ET, TNT: No. 9 Wichita St. Shockers vs. No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs, West Region, Salt Lake City, Utah
