NCAA Tourmament
There has been a significant change in the schedule this season. Instead of Saturday through Tuesday, which had been the case from 2003 to 2014, games in the first four rounds will take place from Friday through Monday. (Thanks Robster2001 via PM)
As for the telecasts, ESPN3 will show all games in their entireties in the first two rounds. Complete game feeds will also be available on ESPN or ESPN2 in selected areas and could be added for some games in their discretion. Otherwise, the national feed will be whiparound depending on the best available action.
All times are Eastern.
