- During this season, CBS used a "wheel" concept on selected days using a set of games with start times usually staggered by one hour. For example. CBS might have a game starting at 2 pm, another one at 3 pm, and another one at 4 pm. Some areas of the country would see the 2 pm game, then join the middle game in progress around 4 pm (likely seeing the second half) and then join the late game in progress around 5 pm. Other areas might see the first half of the 2 pm game, then see the entire 3 pm game and then join the late game in progress. I've marked those games as "(regional wheel)". CBS would periodically use this concept the next few seasons as well.
- There was an interesting TV arrangement for the Wooden Classic doubleheader in Anaheim on 12/9 with ABC covering the first game and NBC carrying the second contest.
- On 1/20, CBS showed the Memphis-Marquette game regionally with the Georgia-Penn St women's game (called by Michele Tafoya and Dan Bonner).
- On 2/3, ABC also planned regional coverage of St Louis @ #12 Wake Forest at 2 pm, but that game was postponed for weather reasons.
- On 3/9, McGuire lost his voice during the CUSA title game, so CBS got Louisville coach Denny Crum (who was in the arena) to join the broadcast crew.

- ESPN2 again picked up many ACC Raycom telecasts on weekend afternoons.
- On Mon 1/8, ESPN originally planned to televise Vill-Conn at 7:30 pm, but a blizzard pushed that game to the next night. The rescheduled game aired on ESPN2 on Tue 1/9 at 7:30 pm, relegating the ND-BC game originally slated for that timeslot to tape delay.
- On Sat 1/13, ESPN2 planned to televise Arizona @ St Joseph's at 4 pm, but the game was never played due to weather/travel issues for Arizona.
