Game time 7:00 Friday CBS
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
Knew we were going to get the prime time lead in on CBS - want the eyeballs
Va Tech the best 4, MSU the best 2...and we got them both.
The committee just sucks
Haven't seen anything yet, but expect Nance, Rafferty, and Grant in Columbia
I'm going to give you another hidden advantage. Cincinnati (UC or U Clifton for OH transplants) doesn't have to travel more than 2 hours for the first 2 weekends. All of those sold KY tickets are going to UC fans. They are underrated at #7, particularly if Houston is a #3. Although UVA is a much better team, the #7 seed has a lot of luck winning the South Regional recently. It's also a game nobody wants see; it's about like watching UVA-WI in terms of tempo and scoring.
Not looking ahead, but have they set the times for the second games on Sunday? Asking for a friend.
In Columbia the 8/9s should have a strong fan attendance.
Could be tough to get extra tickets.

Clemson and State- tough on them.
Kenpom take a look they are ahead of several schools that were picked - Cinci, 4 behind them, got a 7 seed. almost always take all top 30 in kenpom

both Clemson and state ahead of Syracuse in NET

I would also expect Sunday afternoon on CBS, particularly if the A crew is there. The SC, IA, OH, and OK are on Sunday, and you have to look at the games in pairs for broadcast purposes. There's nothing very intriguing to the casual viewer about any set of pairs relative to Zion dunking and UVA's game. UNC must play a west coast team, which will relegate them to TNT/TBS at night.
Won't know officially until late Friday night, but expect Duke to get the last game CBS will show - unclear from this schedule below whether its 5:00 or 6:00. Again, eyeballs will drive schedule. CBS, their last game, and Duke/Zion
