I've given up on TSN and Sportsnet for proper coverage. Best thing to do is watch the streams online with just as good quality.

Yeah you can just watch it on the NCAA site but its not the same as watching it on TV to me.

I didn't see a way Kansas, osu or duke didn't make the final four, and pitt's region was craptastic so no point in taking paint. Therefore my final four is still fine. But most importantly - the big east is way overrated.

Kansas has the easiest route to the final four. Since Texas is out I guess I'll be cheering for BYU and Ohio State. For draft purposes I hope the Buckeyes win it all with Sully performing huge for them, that way the other prospects, particularly Irving, has a better chance of landing here.

Yes they did have a timeout left. This can't call a timeout after 4 second rule that everyone is claiming doesn't exist, I just read through the NCAA rulebook and nowhere does it mention this.

Yeah, that rule was removed years ago. ESPN ran a timer showing Joseph had the ball for 4.76 seconds before the 5 second call and he turned to call a timeout at 4 seconds.

These collegiate games on The Score are really entertaining to watch.

Hey CZAR85 can you hit me up with an email?? Matt@Flagrantfouls .com wanna ask you something.

Cory got ROBBED, still shouldn't have been in that situation. They played horrible and you cant say they lost because of that call but it was definitely the wrong call.

I will go **** nuts if TSN shows the game as CBS tomorrow night.

It looks like for Thursday's games, both TSN and TSN2 will be airing games all night, so we should get all 4....

On Friday, TSN has hockey (UGH) on from 7-10, and then on TSN2 at 9:30 it goes to Lacrosse. So will likely miss an early (7pm or so start) and late(close to 10pm start) game on Friday if they air the CBS games, and I think they will as those games have the big schools in them like UNC, Kentucky, and Ohio State, while TBS has Kansas and 3 double digit seeds.

Gotta love TSN..... Where March Madness loses its time slots to curling, lacrosse, and hockey... TSN seems to buy the rights to every single sporting event on Earth and then when multiple events go on at the same time, don't have the capabilities to air them all.

I could have sworn their schedule said TSN and TSN2 would be airing games all night tonight, but looks like TSN is airing Montreal and Boston instead at 7pm.

The NCAA tournament games aren't on in Canada? I feel bad for you guys.

We get the games. Its just that it seems like if TSN/TSN2 airs the same games as CBS, we could be missing the TBS games. Because instead of having both TSN and TSN2 air different games at the same time, one of those channels instead will air hockey and lacrosse games.

Good to hear. There should be good streams for the other games. I've got UConn, Duke, Florida and Butler advancing to the Elite Eight tonight. I wouldn't be shocked if SD State won but I like Butler pulling off the upset against Wisconsin.

TSN has announced they will be showing the Duke game tonight. Hopefully TSN2 will be showing the Butler/Wisconsin game.

JN · Post #279 » by JN » Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:46 pm

Everyone please watch the Elite 8 games on CBS rathen then TSN.

We have to dispute this **** idiocy. TSN is once again showing the same game as CBS. How **** obtuse are these pathetic puckheads. **** you TSN. **** you Gino Reda.

Its not like the BYU-Florida is not attractive to viewers - its about equal to UConn-SDSU in intrigue.

**** you - I am watching the game on CBS, **** all yous sons of bitches and stinky twats associated with TSN. **** off.
