Looks like Illinois gets the late afternoon slot on TruTV, which is typically a "we don't expect this game to be that interesting" slot for the tourney.

First and foremost, go beat Morehead St.

You can look at the path to S16 draw in 2 ways: either you get a 6 seed BYU that’s better than it’s seeded or an 11 Duquesne that’s worse than it’s seeded. Either way, if we’re who we say we are, go get it, no excuses.
Exactly. So, BYU is underseeded … what should they be?! A 5? A 4?

We’re a #3 seed and playing like it. We can and should beat them if we come to play. And if you don’t come to play in March Madness, you’ll lose anyway.

We are all scarred from the Loyola loss, Chattanooga scare and Houston loss … but this team can stack a few wins in this bracket if they play to their potential!

As long as their center doesn't get the calls Edey does, I'm confident we can at least get him in foul trouble on the drive.
He is absolutely not anything like Edey. He is a very good passer and can shoot if given the opportunity. He complements the other shooters on the floor. I totally agree with comment about the foul situation.

Clark Kellogg saying BYU would have been a 5, but got moved down to a 6 because they can't play on Sundays.
Yes, they were #17 overall on the S-Curve, which would typically be the top 5 seed. So, in effect, Illinois gets a potential second round 3-5 matchup. Unless BYU loses to Duquesne, the worst 11 seed in NCAA selection history.

Yes, that’s true, and probably correct. Just the two teams’ fan bases and a small cadre of hyper-interested fanatics with a wall-sized TV watching four games at once.

This is truly a complete embarrassment but it’s what we have come to expect at ESPN. We know who they are run by. This just shows how uneducated these folks are and can’t even do some research. LAZY
It’s a Big Ten team. ESPN isn’t going to say anything good about a conference that told them to kick rocks and isn’t feeling bad about it one bit.

Me too DB11, when I still worked, that is. At 71 years of age, glad we didn't get stuck in the West with some of those late-night games. LOL
Yes. As a fellow 1952 vintage and also retired being able to watch virtually every game of the tournament is a huge perk. Very late games require a pregame nap or a return the Seventies attitude towards pharmacological resources.

Man, my Fubotv does not carry Trutv or TnT. Guess it's onto the local watering hole. 😋
They don't carry TBS either. The only NCAA games carried on Fubo are on CBS. I also have Fubo, and that is my only real gripe is lacking the Turner network stations. How a sports platform lacks these are beyond me.

I generally download the March Madness app on tv, and then using my parent's Xfinity login.

I should note that that will be only for the games on TBS, TNT, and TruTV. You'll need a Paramount+ account for the CBS games.
Correct. I use my Fubo for CBS, but that is true about needing some other way to watch CBS. For March Madness app, you still need some form of cable to authenticate.
