2014 NCAA Tournament TV schedule: Road gets tougher for Florida, Arizona

UCLA and San Diego State loom as foes for the 1-seeds, plus the Cinderella dream stays alive for one double-digit seed.

Can you believe there's only 15 games left in the college basketball season? Well, if you ignore the NIT and sub-NITs, and yeah, go ahead and do that. Four of those last 15 games await on Thursday.

TV coverage begins on CBS at 6 p.m. ET with the pre-game show, then we’re back to glorious multi-screen action. The 10-seed Stanford faces 11-seed Dayton on CBS at 7:15 ET (sweet sassy Cinderella molassey!), and on TBS 32 minutes later, Wisconsin faces Baylor.

That’s it for concurrent games; we bid college basketball on TNT and (ugh) TruTV adieu for the year and go back to CBS and TBS for the second slate of games on Thursday evening. So it goes on Friday as well if you’re looking ahead. And what a second slate it’ll be. We’ve got Florida and Arizona, two of the strongest teams in the tournament, facing UCLA and SDSU (neither of whom have faced an opponent seeded better than 12th yet in the tourney).

The full television schedule for Thursday is below. All times Eastern. Later tipoffs subject to change. Don’t wear hats indoors.

THURSDAY

CBS, 7:15 p.m.: Stanford (10) vs. Dayton (11)

TBS, 7:47 p.m.: Wisconsin (2) vs. Baylor (6)

CBS, 9:45 p.m.: Florida (1) vs. UCLA (4)

TBS, 10:17 p.m.: Arizona (1) vs. San Diego State (4)
