All games will be on TV. Sunday of the first weekend will be spread out and go into primetime

Just a minor complaint, but why on the weekend's games, just end the Saturday's games by 10 eastern and Sunday, buy 7 or 8 eastern.

Also, on the weekend games, they better hope they don't have many upsets going in, because with showing 1 game at a time, if they don't get the big teams, that could hurt viewership.

TruTV, the channel formerly known as CourtTV, will tipoff the first four games of the NCAA Tournament in what will be known as the "NCAA First Four" Tuesday, March 15th & Wednesday, March 16th. TruTV can be found on DIRECTV 246, but as far as I know, that TimeWarner-owned channel known for reality TV, doesn't broadcast in HD.

I went to check out comments about at ESPN, they seemed to like it, and I will say the real first 2 rounds, not that they call the 2nd and 3rd rounds, are great, to me the problem is the weekend games, when you are basically having them all on by themselves.

What if you have a tournament filled with upsets, upsets are nice but get too many and they can ruin a tournament, you could have some rough games to watch.

I have found some people that may not like this, the arena's hosting the first couple of rounds, because I heard on ESPN yesterday that for 7 straight years attendance is down in college basketball, and since people can watch every game at home, I don't see many going to watch the games, unless it's your team.
