[FCFS82]

Lexington viewers:

We're getting Georgia-Xavier, then the Cats vs. Marquette, followed by USC-Kansas State and then George Mason vs. Notre Dame for the nightcap.

I hate the CBS 'non-constant' coverage. Most of the country gets this depending on their local team, which guarantees that they will show bits of every game that is going on to the non-constant regions.

Being in Florida I'm sure CBS will constantly be switching the games on their coverage. I signed up for the CBS online feed so as not to get hosed out of seeing the whole game. The local CBS affiliate already has a disclaimer up that they do not control what is being shown down here and that CBS-NY will be controlling the switch.

I can see it now - UK & Marquette coming down to the wire tied up less than a minute to go only to hear the studio host say "We now take you to the Kent St/UNLV game where UNLV is up by 15."

There objective is to move you to a closer game that is coming to an end. I can't remember in all my viewing where I was taken from a nail biter to a 15-point game. Unless it was to switch to the tip of the Kentucky game.

I was just bringing up the switch to the duke tipoff a couple of weeks ago. I would hope CBS wouldn't pull a switch away from a close game.

Catlanta gets the same games except for the third game. Looks like we will miss the freshmen phenoms for Puke/Belmont.:icon_sad:

I live in Chicago and we are getting Purdue/Baylor according to the last map I checked. Chicago is far from Kentucky but I was hoping that we may get the game because Chicagoland is home to a lot of Marquette grads. Hopefully CBS will give Chicago some of the UK broadcast. I would have had this problem last year in the first round as well, even though the game was being played in Chicago. I decided to skip CBS and bought tickets to see my first live Kentucky game.

I hope our game ends before Duke takes the floor for warmups ...

WOW I must say that I wont mind watching all of these lol nice line up!

[LiveBlue]

Oh crap- that map says I am getting Kent State and UNLV.

But we always get the Kentucky games. How are they going to carry every single Kentucky regular season and SEC game and then show Kent State/UNLV?

This thing better be wrong or I will be HIGHLY pissed.

I am guessing that the Cincinnati station will petition to CBS in NY to get the Kentucky-Marquette game, citing more regional interest.

I don't think I would sweat it much.

The local paper actually said this morning that they ARE showing it live on CBS. We will see!
