I like how every game is on television somewhere. I've heard some people complaining about having to find tru TV on talk radio. Seriously, how hard is it to flip through the guide. I've hated in years past having to watch a one seed vs a sixteen seed blow out when Duke is playing Charlie's Barber College in the first round and winning by fifty and there's a three point game on between a seven and ten and all you get is when the cut in to those games. Now you don't have to worry about that, any game you want to watch you can. Also the games are spread out a little more this year so you'll be able to catch more games. In previous years there were four games going on at once, now only the last four games will be going on starting around the same time.

They also did a good job of spreading out some of the better games as all day long there will likely be at least one good close game going on. It starts with Old Dominion vs Butler early, then the Richmond vs Vandy game should be a good one and I think Richmond is the better team there. You likely won't see any big upsets until later in the evening, unless you consider Richmond a big upset, I don't.
