The Saint Joseph's-Wake Forest NCAA regional game (Thursday, 9:57 p.m. ET), with Jim Nantz and Billy Packer, will go to 68% of the USA.
Other CBS games Thursday: Vanderbilt-Connecticut (7:10 p.m., 61% of the USA), Pittsburgh-Oklahoma State (7:27, 39%) and Alabama-Syracuse (9:40, 32%).
In DC, we are getting Pitt/OSU and St Joes/Wake.

I'm definitely pulling for UConn and Bama since I have UConn going all the way in all of my pool and I have Bama to the Elite 8 in one pool.
As for the other 2 games, I've hedged btwn Pitt and Ok St in my pools. Therefore, if Pitt wins, I hope Wake wins (since I have that as a Elite 8 matchup in one pool). If Ok St wins, I hope St. Joe's wins (since I have that as an Elite 8 matchup in another pool).

How can you find out which games you'll get? the Pitt-OK game is by far the one i'm most interested in watching, but I fear i'll end up watching UConn destroy Vandy for most of the early evening :(

I checked the website of my local CBS affiliate. My guess is that only PA and nearby areas (not including NY) and the Big-12 area will get Pitt/OSU.

(But will Wake win? With the way they play defense, I'm not optimistic.)
Out here, I have to assume I get the OklaSt-Pitt game, followed by StJ-Wake.
Edit: wrong! We always get Big 12 games out here, and there is a rather large contingent of people from that area of the country living here, but it appears we get UConn-Vandy as well.

We could have another situation similar to Roy Williams and UNC this weekend. Rumor now is Keady is leaving Purdue today for the University of San Francisco.
If that happens Stallings from Vandy who was a former asst to Keady at Purdue, though some say he didn't leave on good terms, and Thad Matta from Xavier would both be candidates for the job along with Lavin.

Interesting. That would be sweet if Stallings got the job. He is considered one of the basketball greats at my high school (he graduated in '78 and went on to play for Keady @ Purdue).

I figured Pitt would have a tough game tonight, but I still had a feeling this would be the year they reached the elite eight. I didn't get to see any of the game, but from reading the thread, it seems they kept it close for most of the game. My bracket is screwed now. I wish I wasn't such a homer. I had Pitt winning it all. :)
As for the current game, why do they think that people in CO have more interest in the Bama/Cuse game then Wake/St Joes? Couldn't believe which game was on when I clicked on the TV.

Yeah - I was surprised (when they just had the live look-in) to hear that Mac just hit his first 3 pointer of the game.
Only took Wake six minutes to get their first field goal of the 2nd half.
