Is there any tv coverage in this Tourney? I thought Fox Sports was to cover some of the games. We are down to 3 games left - any tv for this one? Or is there just coverage for the Championship game?

[MDCowboy]

Championship Game only MM.... next Tuesday is on Fox College Sports... but that is the only game on TV.

Quick turnaround for a game! I never thought they would play this week after a Monday game, so I promised my GF that I'd take her hiking on Wednesday up in Pt Reyes to check out the wildflowers. I plan to start early tomorrow so I can make it back by start time.

[ifarania]

Double digit loss to Cal Poly? That hurts... That hurts really bad.

[BUBrave28]

They did take CS-N into OT and then a few days or a week later CS-N almost took out Memphis in the 1st round. We should win, but we need to come out with a little more aggression and really get after it in the first 5 minutes.
