A Sports Filled Weekend Ahead
How many 3-pointers can we watch? How many dunks, steals, no-look passes?
We’re about to find out. Hello, March Madness.
Men’s college basketball’s conference tournaments reach their peak this weekend, culminating in the selection of the 68 teams that will compete in the Big Dance – the NCAA Tournament. The menu for the weekend is simply too long for anyone to choose six items and say they are the only chunks of must-watch TV.
So we’ll let you build your own six-pack. Just like in the beer aisle of fun stores. We’ll just make a few suggestions and you will rely on your own judgment. No, it’s not a test of your judgment.
Your heiner and your recliner will be best buds when this weekend is over.
Of course, you’ll want to see the Selection Show on CBS on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. ET. Here’s where the next few weeks of office-pool intrigue is born as the field is seeded and we debate who got too good a seed, who got jobbed and if there is any reason to watch the NIT.
On the odd chances that the combination of small wagers and basketball holds little appeal, you may tune into Fox on Sunday at 3:30 for NASCAR’s Kobalt 400 in Las Vegas. Instead of a back-and-forth sport you can opt for one that goes round and round. Is this a great country or what?
And now, the other side of the menu. Fill out your six-pack. Some possibilities, all of them college hoop: The Big 12 Tournament final Saturday at 6 p.m. on ESPN; The ACC championship game on Saturday at 9 p.m. on ESPN; the Pac-12 title game on ESPN at 11 p.m. on Saturday; the first-ever Ivy League championship game on Sunday at noon, carried by ESPN2; the Atlantic 10 title game on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. on CBS; the SEC championship game on Sunday at 1 p.m. on ESPN; the Big Ten championship game on Sunday at 3 p.m. on CBS.
Indulge. Enjoy. It’s madness!
