A bit of a gripe here...

Why does there always have to be at least one 1st Round Game that basically the entire country minus the west coast does not see?

This year it is UCLA/Belmont.. Gametime is 5:10pm Eastern.. I understand the time zone issue, but still.. CBS pays all of these dollas' for this tourney and basically skips one game for the vast majority of America.

Anyone else notice this?

As much as I dislike the way ESPN does things anymore, it would be much more beneficial as a College Hoops fan if the "Family of Networks" they offer covered the First and Second Round action. Heck, CBS only offers regional coverage for the darn Regional Semis (next Thursday and Friday Evenings).. Could you imagine regional coverage for New Year's Day Bowl Games? Ridiculous.
